Operation Shoebox FAQ's

Can I enclose a card for the service member to return to me?

E-mail Print PDF
Please do. Pre-addressed post cards or notes can be included in your package. Do not put stamps on these-- the soldiers have the right to send cards and letters without postage from the war zone.
 

Can you send me names and addresses of soldiers?

E-mail Print PDF

Yes we can, please go to the left of the page and click on troop adoption and we will have one of our coordinators contact you to adopt a troop.

 

How long does it take for a package to arrive?

E-mail Print PDF
It is taking up to 2 to 4 weeks for packages due to the heavy volume of mail.
 

Is the government refusing to accept packages for the troops?

E-mail Print PDF
There have been reports in the media that the government wants to restrict the sending of packages to friends and family only. We are still allowed and going to continue sending to the troops that have requested support. If you would like to donate the items you have collected to Operation ShoeBox, please feel free to do so and we will make sure that your items and contact information gets over to the
troops.
 

Where can I send items?

E-mail Print PDF
We encourage you to find a troop in your area to send to through a local Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars or American Legion post. If there are no troops from your area to send to then you can either send a care package through us or you can adopt a troop through us and send to.

If you would like to show your support but don't want to commit to sending every month you can send them through us and include a card or note to the troop. We will make sure it gets to someone that needs it and out mailing address is:

Operation Shoebox
PO Box 1465
Belleview, FL 34421-1465

The post office will accept any size box for us.

If you would like to adopt a troop from us please click on the Adopt a troop link that you will find on the left had side under the main menu and complete the form and one of our coordinators will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for supporting our troops!
