How can you help our nonprofit send care packages to some of the most remote of the roughly 150,000 U.S. military troops serving overseas in 2024?

1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is cash for our mailing costs. With no paid staff, we strive to maximize the use of donations. We are a 501(c)(3) charity, so your gifts are tax deductible. We accept checks to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, TX 75011. You can donate via credit card through our Click and Pledge account. Or you can Venmo us at NancyCarter@AirborneAngels.

2) Donate Goods - Our all-volunteer charity is based in the Dallas area, but receives product donations from across the USA for care packages for our Soldiers and Troops overseas. We kindly request that you contact us at support@airborneangelcadets.com before sending any care package goods.

Ideas for donated items requested by soldiers

Here's a couple of emails received in April from soldiers overseas with some specific requests for items.
----------------

Hi!!! It was good to get an email from you. :) I would have replied sooner, but I was at another PB (patrol Base) with my Chaplain. We are able to get stuff out to the soldiers that are outside the wire at patrol bases and stuff like that. For them, they enjoy magazines, snacks, candy (some of them do not have a DFAC (cafeteria) so they fix their own food, so they enjoy getting something that can be fixed in a microwave or little oven.

For the people on the FOB, I have received numerous requests for underwear, bras, white socks, green uniform socks, tan uniform shirts, and twin size sheets for the beds. Snacks are also asked for. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me back. Thanks again for everything.

Nancy,
Hi. Thanks so much for all of your support. We enjoy and use everything you send us. In particular the guys like getting shower gels and shaving products. A lot of people send female geared products and the guys like to know someone is looking out for them too :) I know everyone loves the Girl Scout cookies and everyone has their favorite. Thanks
