180,000 Christmas Gifts

That's a lot!! As painful as it is to even think about Christmas before, say, the Friday after Thanksgiving, for Soldiers' Angels it really is essential to plan and shop ahead. Can you help?

We have 97 days to collect items for our soldiers holiday packages and ship overseas to our soldiers. We are sending every deployed service member in a combat zone a care package with holiday greetings, including goodies and a beautiful homemade blanket.

We have a lot to do to get ready to meet our holiday goals. Get the word out that you are collecting holiday items for Soldiers' Angels holiday care packages. Contact your local Walmart, grocery store, schools, churches, workplace, service group, ask to put out a donation collection box.

Monetary donations are always accepted as we need postage money to ship our holiday packages. You can donate online, or mail a check to us designated for the holidays.

Checks should be mailed to:
Soldiers Angels
1792 E. Washington Blvd
Pasadena, CA 91104

How Else Can You Help?

Challenge your school, PTA group, teachers, parents, senior citizen centers, businesses, church, college, radio & TV stations, and newspapers. Get the word out tell everyone you know you are collecting hot cocoa packets to provide comfort and warmth for our military. Every item collected is that much closer to filling a care package with holiday cheer.

We need 180,000 of everything:
Hot Cocoa Packets
Hot Cider Packets
Men's White Socks (sizes 9-15)
Candy Bars (any size)
Hard Candy
Candy Canes
Power Bars
Nuts
Christmas Cards- signed but not sealed
Handmade Blanket of Belief - directions on our website here

Please send your item donations with your contact information with estimated value to:

Soldiers’ Angels
914 Tourmaline Drive
Newbury Park, CA 91320

Soldiers’ Angels is a volunteer-led 501 (c)(3) non-profit supporting the troops since 2003.

Help us meet our holiday goal of 180,000 by November 1, 2009
