February 24, 2013

Greetings from Qatar.  I just wanted to send a “Thank You” your way for thinking of us and taking the time to sew and put together goodie bags for us.  My favorite item in the bag was the single star from the American flag along with the saying.  I took it out of the little plastic bag and laminated it and I carry it with me every day in my uniform.
It’s nice to know folks back in the states appreciate what we are doing.  Thank you once again.  May God bless you and yours as well.

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! 🫡
