Help Our Troops

The American Red Cross at Walter Reed Army Medical Center is looking for incidentals/comfort items for sick and wounded Armed Forces Personnel now recuperating at the hospital.

When someone is stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere and is wounded or falls ill, they are immediately evacuated, and it can take weeks for their personnel effects to catch up with them. The Red Cross is asking for donations of any of the following:

• Telephone cards of at least 30 minutes
• Rolling luggage (small), totes, carry-ons
• Individually wrapped snacks
• Magazines
• Notepads, pens
• Playing cards and games
• Sweat pants and shirts (all sizes)

Checks may be made out to the American Red Cross

All items should be addressed to:

American Red Cross
