December 2, 2012

Good evening, I recently just received my little bag of goodies and would like to say thank you.  While I currently am only couple months into my deployment it feels good to have support back in the states.  Being away from my family has really put a damper in my morale, but I would like to say this has put a boost into my morale knowing a group of volunteers cared so much to put all these together for us.  The sacrifice that we make is worth it when there are people in the U.S. still caring for their military.  Thank you and happy holidays. V/R, BM2 C, Zachary USS Rushmore

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! 🫡
