Many of our young men and women who have been put in harm's way, do not have access to a PX (store on base). They are fighting for our freedom on the front lines and it is too dangerous for them to leave camp to make it to one that does have a store, that's usually scarcely stocked.
Some of their families do not have the funds to buy them life's basic necessities and to pay the outrageous shipping costs to send them a goody box.
Treats For Troops stepped up to the plate a couple of years ago and in conjunction with Support The Troops (ourtroopsonline.com) has been sending care packages to remote military camps, hospitals and Chaplains.
We currently have 250 addresses on file that we send 69 pound care packages to on a daily basis. Some camps receive more packages from us daily, because their needs are so great.
When you do the simple math, postage to ship these care packages easily exceeds $50,000 a month.
On January 1st, 2010, we launched "Operation Pocket Change" so we can ask the community to help offset these high postage costs by donating their spare change.
