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 2026?

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.

April care package shipping recap

This month we have shipped 283 care package boxes to American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Total postage costs were over $4,200.

Five units received the 245 boxes that were packed at our April packing party. Other shipments were mailed throughout the month to other units.

Within the next few weeks, additional care packages will be sent to one unit that has over 7,000 Marines.

Thanks to everyone who donated time, money and goods to make these shipments to our troops possible.

Two recent msgs from Afghanistan

Below are two messages we recently received from American soldiers in Afghanistan. Our volunteers have already sent rice and other items to the Battalion Chaplain, and additional shipments will be made.

I have a special request from a local school teacher.  He tells me that some of his Afghan students have to choose between school and work because they have no money and little food.  His request is to give them
rice so they can eat more and healthier.  Many days all they eat is bread and an onion.

I have helped these children with shoes and some warm clothing for the winter, but now they are in need of the rice.

If you are so inclined I humbly present this request for help.

There’s a special feeling when you get an unexpected gift in the mail.

It’s part of the idea behind the ‘Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas’ who want troops serving overseas to know they are thinking about them.
