Give2TheTroops® 2008
"Send 'Em Some Spring™"
Nationwide Drive has begun!
|
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, the organization has grown to branches in several states. Since 2002, G2TT has sent more than
96,000 large boxes
(averaging 65 pounds each) to more than one million American military troops deployed in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Persian Gulf, Pakistan, Kosovo,
Kyrgyzstan, Djibouti
and other combat zones.
This year, you are each being asked to support our troops through our:
“Send 'Em Some Spring™" Donations Drive!
(Yes, our Troops really do miss Easter & Passover and ask us for holiday reminders!)
Give2TheTroops® is requesting the following holiday items for the "Send 'Em Some Spring™"
Care Packages being sent to our troops:
 
Decorations, Non-Chocolate Candies, Snacks, Small religious tokens, & special things to keep our troops' spirits lifted:
- Assorted Candy (Marshmallow Peeps
, Jelly Beans, etc. - must be WRAPPED in unopened packages.)
