“CarePacks is a non-profit organization├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥staffed and managed entirely by volunteers├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥that is dedicated to sending care packages to US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Founded in 2004, CarePacks’ goal is to provide these soldiers with supplies to help improve their morale, mental health, and quality of life, and to remind soldiers that they are remembered by people ├óΓé¼┼ôback home.├óΓé¼┬¥
CarePacks├óΓé¼Γäó care packages contain high-calorie food products, undergarments, personal care items, books, magazines, and more. Each package also contains at least one letter or card from a child so that the soldier who receives the package has a personal connection to someone back in the United States. CarePacks coordinates its efforts with local schools, Cub Scout packs, Boy and Girl Scout troops, churches, and other organizations to involve the community in the support process and to inform them about the needs of US military personnel.”
