How can I send donated items to deployed troops?
Humanitarian-related items can be processed for shipment via The Funded Transportation Program. The Funded Transportation Program provides door-to-door surface transportation of humanitarian aid to worldwide destinations at little or no cost to the donor. Potential shipments are reviewed for appropriateness and feasibility on a case-by-case basis. All organizations and individuals interested in shipping to worldwide destinations are encouraged to contact the Program Manager for the Funded Transportation Program at (703) 601-3854. Guidelines and an online application for this program can be found at http://dentonfunded.ohasis.org.
How can I support the troops?
There are a number of ways in which you can support the troops - email greetings, donations to service relief agencies, volunteering in your local community. A list of organizations with troop support programs is available on the Defend America Web site.
