Many of our military troops deployed overseas request batteries in their care packages. For those organizing collection drives, batteries take up very little space in the boxes and provide a benefit to the troops lasting weeks or months. Typical requests are for AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D and 9V batteries. The most mentioned use is in flashlights, but they are used in all kinds of electronic devices. We welcome donations of batteries (and flashlights).
Below is a touching Duracell Battery commercial showing some of the sacrifices of military families dealing with overseas deployments.
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?
