Make a Donation

Updated 2024

We are always accepting candy donations!

We’re open to receiving all types of candy, whenever it’s convenient for you. Each care package we send out includes a bag of candy as a sweet reminder of home. Ready to donate your extra Halloween candy? Just send it over to us at:

8360 East Hwy 25, Belleview, FL 34420

Please include this form in your package to receive a thank you and/or donation receipt. Packages shipped from a UPS/Fedex store will have the return address of the store’s, not yours, preventing us from sending acknowledgements directly to you.

Please note:

We are deeply grateful for your generosity and support in donating candy for our troops. As we welcome your candy donations, please be aware that we are unable to cover shipping costs or offer pickup services. We kindly ask donors to consider shipping expenses when collecting large donations. Your understanding and cooperation immensely support our mission to bring joy and a sense of home to our troops. Thank you for your continued support and generosity in this endeavor!

Thank you for supporting our troops!!

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! 🫡
