December 5, 2012

Dear Sir Ma’am My name is Zachary W, and I am deployed here in Afghanistan.  I was put in charge of the Wounded Warrior Support groups, which I love being a part of.  I just wanted to take the time and say thank you for your support!  I know the men and women that come through our hospital really appreciate what you have done for them.  It’s comforting to them, knowing they are not forgotten about.  When the patients open the bags, their faces light up.  I see what a difference it makes.  Most of the patients have nothing but a hospital gown on.  The clothes are a big deal to them.  So thank you for everything you do, God bless. Sincerely, SrA W

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! 🫡
