To All Patriotic Citizens: Give2TheTroops Needs YOUR Help! 
Give2TheTroops® is a 501 (c) 3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization that sends care packages
and letters to our deployed and
wounded
military troops in combat zones. They are non-political and support all branches of the service.
Founded in December of
2002, by a
U.S. Marine wife, the organization has grown to branches in multiple states. Since 2002, G2TT has sent more than
70,000 large boxes
(averaging 65 lbs. each) to approximately one million American military troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Kosovo, and other combat zones.
This year, you're each being asked to support our “Fall Into The Holidays For The Troops" campaign
for the troops.
The holidays are always the hardest times for all troops. They're away from their loved ones and many
don't receive a piece of Halloween candy, a Thanksgiving card, a slice of pumpkin pie, see the MACY'S Thanksgiving Day Parade, etc. It's just another
"routine day" for them.
Give2TheTroops works hard at putting smiles on our troops' faces and giving thanks to all our troops serving for us. So we are going to bring the fall holidays to THEM!
Give2TheTroops is requesting the following holiday items for the
"Fall Into The Holidays For The Troops" Care Packages being sent
to our troops:

~ Halloween decorations and masks ~
~ Halloween Candy (in
factory sealed bags - no individual pieces accepted) ~
~ Scary DVD Movies ~
~ Hot Chocolate and Spiced Apple Drink packets
~
~ Holiday Little Debbies Cakes ~
~ Halloween cards for the troops to send home to their children ~
~ Halloween cards made by children and patriotic citizens for the troops to hang up in their tents and buildings ~

~ Thanksgiving decorations ~
~ Thanksgiving cards for the troops to send home to their loved ones ~
~ Thanksgiving cards made by children & patriotic citizens for the troops to hang up in their tents and buildings ~
FALL HOLIDAY - THEMED DONATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY October 1st, 2008!
Financial donations are also greatly appreciated and will help pay for the overseas shipping costs of our very large boxes.
