Care Package Contents
I receive e-mails and requests daily, asking what to include in a care package for a deployed servicemember. Many just simply don’t know what to send. The best advice I can offer is to ask the Soldier what his/her needs are and follow their guidelines as to what to send. However, some packages are put together and sent without a specific need in mind, and simply want to donate items to our warriors. Below you will find some commonly requested items for care packages during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Most items are general and will apply to any area of deployment. For specific area needs please consult Unit Command. Toiletries Food Entertainment Miscellaneous Linens & Things Disclaimer: This is not an all-inclusive list and some items may not be permitted by Command. Please use common sense when packaging and mailing items |
