Santa Clara Valley Chapter's Military Care Package Program

Help us Send Care Packages to our Troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Gulf!

Our Mission

Historically, Americans have shown their support to our Troops serving in times of war in many ways. By writing letters, mailing care packages, or by showing support for a deployed service member's family, Americans have opened up their hearts, homes, and wallets to show that they support those who serve. Operation: Care and Comfort is proud to continue this tradition of service.

What We Have Accomplished Since April 2003, we have shipped over 420,000 pounds (that's over 200 tons!) of care packages for distribution to Marine, Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel that are deployed in the conflict regions.  Operation: Care and Comfort shipped: Over 120,000 pounds in 2007 Over 72,400 pounds in 2006 Over 68,000 pounds in 2005

Operation: Care and Comfort, our all volunteer program, exists to provide support and comfort to "adopted" units of deployed U.S. military service members, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and conflict regions. Working within our community and through donations received from all over our country, we assemble and ship care packages to our adopted units every month until they return home. Our unique program allows caring Americans to donate their time, talent, and treasure to honor those serving our country during these difficult times.

We are currently supporting up to 200 units on a monthly basis. Please help by making a tax deductible donation NOW!
