On January 12, 2026, we will pack our 2,000,000th care package — a moment made possible by the dedication of our volunteers, donors, and supporters over many years.
We are honored to welcome Doug Marcaida, who will personally pack this milestone care package during a special event.

Doug Marcaida’s participation represents more than a special guest appearance — it symbolizes gratitude, service, and unity behind the men and women serving our country overseas.
Reaching two million care packages is a testament to what a committed community can accomplish when it comes together with a single purpose: ensuring that no deployed service member feels forgotten.
Two million care packages. One mission. Supporting our troops — one box at a time.
