Give2TheTroops® is a nonpartisan, non-political, non-profit, patriotic organization formed to support the physical, moral, and spiritual health of America's armed forces in combat zones around the world through letters and care packages prepared and shipped by patriotic volunteers. Deployed and wounded troops in harm's way in all branches of service are supported. They are incorporated and certified as a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity charitable organization.
Since December 2002, Give2 has supported hundreds of thousands of deployed U.S. troops. This was made possible only with the help of tens of thousands of generous and patriotic friends in the U.S. and abroad. They believe that this is the least we can do to show our troops how much we appreciate the sacrifices that they make for us. This is about giving back to those who give all.™
Donations to Give2TheTroops are tax deductible, however donors should consult their independent tax experts and advisors to appropriately determine and verify all charitable contribution deductions. Monetary donations given to Give2TheTroops are used to pay for postage to mail the care packages and/or to purchase special items requested by our deployed troops. 99% of all donations go to our troops. They have no paid employees.
They accept food, snacks, toiletries, entertainment items, sports items, and cards and letters (they cannot accept home-baked food, glass bottles, aerosol sprays, expired food, canned items, lighters, hotel samples, or hard-cover books). They have packages for 20,000 troops ready to ship but don’t have the funds to ship them. They accept donations via credit cards, PayPal, personal checks, and money orders.
