How can you help send care packages to the soldiers?

1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is usually cash to pay for the mailing costs of care packages, and also to buy items for our soldiers. We are registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charity, so your qualifying gifts are tax deductible. We can accept checks made payable to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, Texas 75011 USA. Or you can donate to our account via credit card: Online donation system by ClickandPledge
2) Donate Goods - Many companies and civic groups host their own collection drives and fundraising events in cooperation with our efforts. Individuals and companies also donate goods for our soldiers. Because our goods are warehoused in our homes and in various donated office and warehouse spaces in the Dallas, Texas area, we kindly request that you contact us before sending any goods.

Help sponsor the shipping costs for Girl Scout Cookies

We expect to receive around 15,000 Girl Scout Cookies boxes in March, 2012. We would be grateful to anyone who can donate funds to help us with the estimated $15,000+ shipping costs to mail these cookies overseas to Afghanistan. Here's a link to on how you can help. Thanks.

January Packing Party Recap

On January 21, we held our first large packing party for 2012. A special thanks to Daren, Rick, James and Jenell for their assistance and use of the USMP warehouse.

We packed 171 care package boxes this past weekend for our soldiers serving overseas in Afghanistan. In  addition to Valentine themed items, we also shipped snacks, coffee, toiletries, blankets, DVD's and assorted other items.

There are still roughly 100,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan.

For our troop contacts in Afghanistan who were not recipients of the above January care packages, we will continue to make smaller shipments throughout January, February and March. Our next large packing party is tentatively scheduled for the end of March, and will be coordinated with our receipt of Girl Scout cookies.

As always, thanks to all the volunteers and donors who helped make the packing party a success.

For those inquiring about our special requests, we now have a special request for a large number of pillows, twin mattress pads and sheets.
