What Service Members Need in their Care Packages

Our deployed soldiers are miles away from home, often for months at time. They miss their families, their friends and all the things you and I take for granted. It’s a stressful time and they don’t have a lot of space for personal items either. Hearing “You’ve got mail” is an instant morale boost and you can help!

OpA's mission is to be a soldiers resource in time of need and we send care packages throughout the year to fill this need. You can be part of our mission to help bring a smile to a deployed soldiers face, to remind them they are valued by all of us back home. 

How can you help?
