To All Patriotic Citizens: Give2TheTroops Needs YOUR Help!    

Give2TheTroops® is a 501 (c) 3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization that sends care packages and letters to our deployed and wounded military troops in combat zones. We are non-political and support all branches of the service. Founded in December of 2002, by a U.S. Marine wife, our organization has grown to several branches in many states.  Since 2002, G2TT has sent more than 96,000 large boxes (averaging 65 lbs. each) to approximately one million American military troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo and other combat zones.

Help Give Our Troops Some RELAXATION & RECREATION!

When we started Give2TheTroops, our goal was to do whatever it took to lift the troops' spirits.  If that meant sending over an X-BOX® or Playstation® system, a wrestling mat or a Bowflex® machine, then that's what we did. As long as our troops felt appreciated and had a boost of morale, we felt our Mission was worthwhile. 

Our organization is known for the "special requests" care packages we send.  Whether those requests are medical books for Combat Support Hospitals, items for our K-9 (canine) units, soccer equipment and school supplies for local children, microwaves, coffee machines, religious materials, or other special requests, we will deliver ...  as long as money keeps coming in for postage & volunteers keep helping!

      


We Urge You To Please Support Our Special Entertainment Campaign:
"Let The Games Begin"™

We receive hundreds of requests from our troops for athletic, recreational and entertainment items. Many of our troops need a mental escape from their long shifts, as they're "on duty" 24/7. Recreation is a common way they can relax whether it's a board game, a video game or sports.



Here's a list of what many troops are asking for:
(NEW items, please)

Soccer Balls



Footballs

Nerf Footballs

Basketballs

Volleyballs and Nets

Air Pumps and Needles (to pump the balls)

Baseball and Softball Equipment (bats, mitts, gloves and catchers' masks)
