Operation Shoebox Members,

I have received your packages in the mail today.  I have already distributed most of the stockings out, and everyone is extremely appreciative.  Not everybody here gets care packages and it is nice to see everyone get their own gift rather than digging through a box of candy and toiletries that no one else seemed to want.

So, to everyone over there at Operation Shoebox a great big THANK YOU from Kandahar AMMO!

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! 🫡
