Help assemble CARE packages for deployed trooops!

Romania – Army

We still have something like 5000 troops in Romania. As always, your care packages are a huge hit, all over. Here on this base we only have a small PX with some of the necessities, but with 5000 troops – including the Italian air force, as well as French and Romanians – nothing lasts long on the shelves.

 

Most Used Items:

1. Granola Bars

2. Beef Jerky

3. All Kinds of Candy – especially chocolate bars

4. Single Size Snacks (e.g. Chips, Oreos Cookies, Cheez Its, Goldfish)

5. Canned Goods for Single Portion Meal (e.g. Soups, Spaghetti, etc)

6. Feminine Products (e.g. Tampons, Pads, etc)

7. Travel Size Body Lotion

8. Gum & Breath Mints

9. Single Pack Drink Mix (e.g. Kool Aid, Lemonade, Gatorade, etc)

10. Travel Size Dental Supplies (e.g. Floss, Mouthwash, Toothpaste, Tooth Brush, etc)

11. Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Deodorant

12. Wet/Hand Wipes

13. Sandwich Crackers (Peanut Butter and/or Cheese)

14. High Top Socks (dark colors best – green, black, blue, etc)

There is also a high demand for girl scout cookies.

They’re living in tents, for the most part, with no kitchen facilities, but there’s usually a microwave oven somewhere nearby.

“I recently received a care package from your organization and I wanted to reach out and give my thanks and appreciation! Getting mail on deployment is such a nice reminder of the people who care about us back in the states. It also is always nice to get some good snacks and goodies that I have been missing for many months now. Thanks again for the support!”

Best Regards,
Sgt Taylor 4/23

I wanted to thank you for sending the care package.

In the package I received, I had a postcard from Pam L. from Murrieta, CA & the Assisteens of Temecula Valley, CA. It was great to read words of encouragement from all of you! It always feels like Christmas receiving packages that are unexpected and a real treat when we are so far from home.

Thank you for thinking of me and my team here in this country. We appreciate your work and loved the snacks.” Eunice 4/23

“I recently received a package from your service and wanted to thank you for everything you do! I am Melodie and am currently in the country of Bahrain. I would like to request for continued packages. If possible, I would like to request little Debbie snack cakes as well. Thank you for everything you do and have a great day!”

“I wanted to thank you and your company for supporting the military.  Your contributions are very appreciated. I received another package today and as always you did not disappoint.  I wanted to let you know that I will be redeploying to my home station very soon and will not require any further packages.  I have sent your info to the rest of my flight in case they want to sign up.  Again thank you for everything you do and GOD bless!!”

Want to help deployed troops remotely?

Help shop for most needed items without leaving your home! This is an easy way to help support deployed men and women by purchasing items remotely and have them delivered to us for packing. All items on the list are special requests from our deployed military men and women.

We are running low on supplies – even contributing protein bars or a box of wet wipes is very helpful! For drop off locations please visit www.milvet.org/military-care-packages
