Troop Gifts

This program is one of the most successful projects of the Fund. Each quarter of the year, gifts are purchased and packaged by volunteers and sent to individuals and military units of the United States Armed Forces that are stationed in combat zones. The Fund develops a database of individuals and units serving in these overseas areas and determines by letter and e-mail what type of gifts the troops need and desire. With the donations made to the fund, a group of volunteers make the necessary purchases at local stores. The following is an example list of gifts.

      • DVDs (movie, sports, history, etc)
