Collecting candy. Knitting hats. “Adopting” a military member. Donating funds.

These are just a few ways that volunteers make a difference to our troops. Adopting a soldier to encourage and support is as simple as filling out a form on our website. Once you receive a name, you are able to ship monthly care packages to a member of our armed forces.

One-time projects do a lot of good in a little time. Whether you host a volleyball tournament that generates postage money or drive Girl Scout cookies to our Florida headquarters, every second and every cent reach our heroes.

Join us today in honoring their sacrifice.

New International Shipping Regulations

Operation Shoebox is updating our shipping process to meet new customs requirements. During this transition, there will be a short delay in shipments leaving our facility.

✅ Care packages will still go out — we’re simply adjusting behind the scenes to comply with the new rules and keep boxes from being returned.
✅ We are also updating our website with a new list of requested items to reflect what can safely be shipped.

👉 If you are sending your own Adopt-a-Troop packages, or shipping directly, please use ShipThrifty for the smoothest experience and best rates under the new rules.

Thank you for your patience and support — together we’ll keep the smiles and supplies flowing to our heroes overseas! 🫡
