Share Your Story, Your Contribution Brightens Our Mission!

Receiving a care package from home is more than just a box of essentials; it’s a parcel of warmth, love, and a reminder of the community that stands with you. Operation Shoebox is dedicated to bridging the distance between home and where you stand guard. Your experiences, the moments of joy, comfort, and reflection that these care packages bring, fuel our mission and inspire our community.

We invite you to be a part of our ongoing story. When you receive one of our care packages, take a moment to capture the experience. Snap a photo or record a short video with your care package. Share with us what receiving this package means to you, how it connects you to home, or any particular item that brought a smile to your face.

Your stories are powerful. They resonate with those who diligently pack each box, infusing them with care and hope. By sharing your story, you illuminate the importance of this connection and bring to life the impact of a simple gesture.

My name is Brad Nelson and I received a care package from you today. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Myself along with the rest of my company is extremely grateful for your generosity. The treats that you sent were a huge boost in moral and made my day along with many others. It is such a great feeling to know that there are people like you who are willing to support our troops.

My name is Sergeant Carlos Valdez. I just received my care package from Operation Shoe Box today and I felt a need to email you guys back home and thank you for all the help and support all the volunteers have given to soldiers like myself. It’s been a while since I received mail here and this was definitely a moral booster. I would also like to thank Eleanor Sullivan from Summerfield Florida for the lovely card sent in my package, please let her know that her kind words didn’t go unnoticed and that they lifted my spirits while being away from home. Again than you for everything, keep up the hard work and may God Bless you all.

My name is Lewis and I am a Warrant Officer in the US Army stationed at Kandahar, Afghanistan. My unit received your care packages the other day and I want to say thank you! The cookies and Cracker Jacks are always fun to get, but I was mostly touched by a simple handwritten note from Ruth Salerno. The soldiers here do our job because we love our fellowman and we still believe in America. We do not seek accolades, yet I find it very satisfying (and humbling) to know you believe in us. You call us Heroes, but the real Heroes are folks like you who make America great and worth defending!

I just want to send a quick note to say “thank you” for all the time you spend putting together your care packages for America’s Service Members! I received one the other day and it is so nice to have some comfort items and necessities. I really appreciate your kindness, caring thoughts and prayers!

LTC John Hammer

Just a quick note to say thanks for the care packages that you sent over to the 371st SUS BDE. The soldiers really like the items and even more is the fact that there are people like you that care and think about us while we are away from our families. So again I am very thankful to you. Thanks, thanks thanks.
