Troop Care Package Request

Troop Care Package Request Form

Give2TheTroops®
Care Package Sign Up Form

This form must be completed and submitted if you wish to receive packages from our organization.

This is a secure care package application form for deployed U.S. Military personnel only. The information you provide will be used by our volunteers to send your unit care packages during your deployment. While we appreciate the service of all our troops, our funds and mission restrict us to sending care packages only to members of the United States Military (not a Government contractor or foreign troop) who are deployed in combat zones.

Family and friends of the troops may NOT submit this form on behalf of their troops without permission from G2TT Headquarters. Instead, please send troops a link to this page or have them mail us the required information. We must have direct permission from the troops and their CO's. Should you experience technical difficulties submitting this form via the web, please print and complete the page and mail it to us at our address below. Any forms submitted by relatives or friends without our direct permission will be disqualified.

Please do not sign up multiple times - Our database stores all entries and cross-references them to delete duplications. If your address or rotation date changes, just send us an email rather than trying to re-sign up again. Thanks!

NOTE: By signing up, you agree to be our Point of Contact (POC) for your unit. The care packages we send you are extremely LARGE and must be SHARED with all members of your unit. Our goal is to lift the spirits of everyone in your unit so that every troop knows they're loved, appreciated and missed. Other members of your unit should not sign up with us as you are now the POC for everyone in your unit.

Most needed items: Do you miss certain items from home or need a hard-to-find item? Please let us know and ask the other members in your unit what they miss from home so we may also include those items. Please read our requirements, below before completing this section.

      Do you have k-9 units with special needs for canine items? Let us know! We love spoiling our MWDs!
      Need Batteries? Please let us know the size(s) and quantity needed.
      Need School Supplies or Toys for the local children?
      Need Medical Supplies? We can assist with smaller medical items.
      Would you like Girl Scout Cookies or Microwaveable Snacks? Just say the word!

      Requesting Electronics or Expensive Items? Please read ...
   We abide by all Government laws. As per U.S.CODE TITLE 7353 (5 U.S.C. § 7353; Standards of Ethical Conduct - Gifts from Outside Sources), we
      CANNOT send items valued over $20.00 including digital cameras, microwaves, laptops, game systems or other expensive items to an individual
      troop. Items valued at more than $20.00 must be SHARED.

      G2TT reserves the right to use discretion on which units qualify for such items. Since we are funded entirely by private donations, these items are only       sent to units in very remote, combat areas with little or no access to a PX, MWR, or entertainment. If your unit qualifies and requires a microwave,       game system, television set, or DVD player, we need your Commanding Officer's written agreement via e-mail stating these gifts will be shared by all       unit personnel, that the items will become inventory of your unit and listed in your unit's property books and that these items may not be kept by an       individual Soldier, Sailor, Marine, or Airman.

      We cannot send you contraband items such as tobacco. We also do not send tactical gear, uniforms, boots, military manuals, iPods, or PSPs.
      We do not have funds or ability to ship large recreational items such as billiards tables, ping pong tables or exercise mats.

In the box below, please tell us what your unit REALLY NEEDS.

Your Living Conditions:

Please tell us a little about your unit's living conditions. We customize every box and this information is very helpful to us.

For example ...

     Does your unit has running water and electrical power (110-120 or 220 volts?) Does your unit use transformers or power converters?
     If you have power, does your unit have air conditioning, heaters, a microwave, a fridge, a freezer, a TV, a DVD player, a VCR, or a
     game system such as Xbox 360 or PS3?

     Are you within walking distance to a PX or does a PX come to you or do you live off the local village? If you have access to a PX, how well stocked is it?

     Do you have an MWR? Do you reside in a tent, barracks, buildings, "CHU", etc.?

The information you provide below will help determine whether we can send you certain items from our inventory (i.e. microwave popcorn,
freezer pops, DVDs, CDs, video games, fuses, wall screws, etc.)

How did you hear about us?

Please confirm that you will be our Point of Contact for your unit Yes No

Our Promise To You:
Give2theTroops® abides by OPSEC and Department of Defense regulations and will NOT share your address or personal information with anyone except our Directors coordinating your care packages. For your safety, we inspect every item in each care package sent to ensure the items are not prohibited, inappropriate or tampered with. We also inspect all letters and cards to ensure they are uplifting and positive. We'll post your letters and photos with your permission, but reserve the right to omit or modify any personal or sensitive information that may cause grief or anxiety to your family back home or which violates OPSEC guidelines. We'll do our best to include all the items you request and send your first box within 5 weeks after your sign-up. If you need anything from us at any time, we'll be here for you - just send us an email. Thank you again for your service to our country and May God Bless all of you.

Important! We need this agreement to support you.
I hereby give my permission to Give2TheTroops to release my APO/FPO address to its Directors for purposes of sending me and my unit care packages or letters. I also give my permission to Give2TheTroops to use my deployment photos and thank you notes I send them on their web site or in their fliers for purposes of showing visitors the importance of supporting the troops and encouraging others to support its mission.

I agree
