Give2TheTroops® Theme Song written & donated by Peter Berk "YOU'RE ALL HEROES NOW"
Since December 2002, we've
supported approximately ONE MILLION deployed U.S. troops with loving care
packages and letters from all over the nation. This was made possible only with the help of tens of thousands of generous and patriotic friends
in the U.S. and abroad. To date, we've sent more than 96,000 enormous boxes and more than 20 million letters and cards from caring citizens. This is the least we can do to show our troops how much we
care about them. Our troops need to know that we support and appreciate
the sacrifices they make for us, our families, and our future.
This is about giving back to those who give all™
Thank you for caring about our troops!
Your support enables us to continue our
mission and
lets the troops know they're
appreciated
and not forgotten about.
A soldier is welcomed home by family members
after
a
15+

Carolina
Army National Guard.
Give2TheTroops® is comprised of military troops, family members, companies, organizations, schools, volunteers and donors - all who want to show their support for our troops.

SLEEPY'S Comforts our Troops with Pillow Donations!!
To give troops a soft spot to rest their heads, Sleepy's, the family-owned east coast mattress company, has developed a pillow donation program in partnership with Give2TheTroops, a non-profit organization which sends care packages to the military. Through a program called "Comfort Our Troops," when consumers purchase any Tempur-Pedic pillow at one of Sleepy's 700 retail locations between January 28 and February 28 Sleepy's will send a travel pillow to troops overseas via care package from the Give2TheTroops organization. The pillows will be packaged with other "comforts of home" such as snacks and toiletries.
"Sleepy's is proud to engage our community to support the men and women who serve our country through the 'Comfort Our Troops' program," said Adam Blank, Chief Operating Officer at Sleepy's. "We hope that when they lay their heads down, they are reminded how truly grateful we are for their service."
"A cozy bed is one of the things that our soldiers miss the most while they are away," said Andi Grant, President and Founder of Give2TheTroops®. "The 'Comfort Our Troops' program is a great way for people to give our soldiers a little piece of home and help them sleep a little easier."
To purchase a pillow in support of the "Comfort Our Troops" program, please visit one of Sleepy's 700 retail locations beginning January 28. For information on the program, please visit Sleepys.com or give2thetroops.org.
DesertDefense™ For Dogs
(A First Line of Defense Against
Valley Fever for Your Dog)
is
helping Give2TheTroops®!
Dogs living in the desert Southwest face many similar environmental conditions and pathogens as our canine military working dogs stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To help raise awareness and funds for the K9 units overseas, they're donating a portion of their proceeds to
Give2TheTroops now through March 1, 2010.
I feel that what I do at G2TT is more than volunteering. I believe it goes to the very
reason of our being ... our compassion for one another. When
I feel what you feel, how can I not help?
If it's nothing
more than to give a hug or a smile or to be a sounding board -
whatever is needed at that defining moment of time in
someone's life - that is what we must be willing to give for our
brother and sister.
For we are many minds with one thought;
many workers with one purpose; many words with one voice and
many individuals pouring out of a single cup of
purpose. Those cups of purpose can be poured into a
reservoir of hope and those who have lost all hope can come to this reservoir of purpose and receive the
strength to go on.
