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.

More April messages from our soldiers

More responses to our care packages for soldiers overseas (click to enlarge):


I wanted to send a sincere thank you from my guys and I.  We are living in a village and on a mountain top and these items were so comforting and perfect that we had to track yall down and let you know.  It means so much to all of us that 10+ years into this thing, we are still getting incredible support from folks back home.  Please thank everyone for us and take good care.
God Bless!

Hello!
Just wanted to say thanks for the second box! It came today - our mail system is weird sometimes.As always, as soon as I broke open the box in our command post, the guys reverted into 2 year olds fighting over the protein bars and the baseballs. The Girl Scout Cookies went shortly thereafter. Whatever we don't eat, we take over to the area of our base that our interpreters live in. They are local Afghans who translate for us and share the FOB with us and they absolutely love American snacks.  The drink mixes and protein bars were a smashing hit! I am working on trying to get pictures for you all. Thank you again so much!

Dear Airborne Angels,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved in the care package that was sent to me. The Girl scout cookies were a big hit with all the guys and gal here in TF Longhorns, Bagram AF. Everyone wants me to express our deepest appreciation for all you do, not only for us but all Soldiers and Marines throughout Afghanistan! God bless you all and your families.
Respectfully, SSG W

Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas,
I am CPT Michael ... here at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.  I want to take the time to thank you for the enormous care package that you sent to my Battery.  We have 80 Soldiers here, so everything went quickly.  Your support of Soldiers deployed everywhere is so meaningful.  It really raises the morale when we get a care package and everyone can dig in and share all of the treats.  I attached a picture of us on our site in case you keep a collection of your adopted units.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of the Soldiers opening the because because it all went so fast.  All you would have seen was an empty box.

Please continue your support of deployed Soldiers.  Your work really is noticed over here.
V/R, CPT Michael

Specialist Alan in Afghanistan receives care packages

"... Today we received two boxes from you all! Thank you very much! We have a small room attached to our command post with some phones and computer that guys use to call home and I line up all the care packages on shelves in there. When I come back the next night, the boxes always look like the grocery store before a hurricane! I don't imagine the protein bars you all sent will last through the night! The guys here love to workout. I've attached some pictures of the boxes and also a picture of our Tactical Explosives Detection Dog (TEDD), Maci for you all to see. Thank you again very much!"
