Although the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas is an all-volunteer nonprofit (no paid staff) and we receive much in the way of product donations, we still have to pay postage for each box, plus our standard warehouse expenses.
As the summer heat drags on and the kids back home are going back to school, this is the time of year when a care package can boost a solider's morale. The postage cost for each packing session totals close to $3,750 and we usually have two sessions on a packing day, so that really adds up.
Some of our fantastic financial supporters for 2016 include Delta Air Lines, Rock & Brews / KISS, Citi, Levi Straus, Allstate, Pinnacle, Wells Fargo, Carrollton Women's Club, Texas Super Glow Hot Air Balloon event at the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium, Jones Day law firm, and many more.
So if you, your organization, or business are looking for a way to support our military members deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and other remote areas, we would gladly welcome your financial donations. In order to meet our target, we hope to receive another $67,000 in the last half of 2016.
