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.

Dear Sir/Ma'am

I just want to take the time say thank you. It is a blessing to have people back at home thinking and praying for us. This is why I'm proud to serve. I'm sure you hear many things from the soldiers you sendpackages to. Fortunately we are relatively safe since our unit doesn'thave to go out side the wire (out side the air base). But being thatwere are a level 3 hospital, we see the damage first hand. We will besharing your gift to the soldiers that come through here. Don't worry, good things do happen here even if the press never mentions them. We build good relationships with the locals and they depend greatly on our support.

Thank you donors!!!

After the article in the Dallas Morning News ran about our organization, we were overwhelmed at the outpouring from our fellow Texans. Below are many of the wonderful donors that gave generously to our cause and mission, allowing us to send the remaining boxes of our original 16,000 Girl Scout cookie boxes to over 250 different platoons serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar.

"We could use one toaster that way I could place it in our common area for everyone to use. PT Gear!! YES! I have been having a hard time getting PTs here. For some reason they do not keep Mediums in stock so all my PTs are huge. I know some of the other females have the same problem as me.
Thank you sooo much. Flip Flops are a must here. I never walked around bare-footed in my room or in the shower trailer.
Thank you soooo much!
