Memorial Day is a day of remembrance to honor the sacrifice made by the men and women who have died during their service in the United States military. Memorial Day is a special time to honor America’s history and commemorate the bravery, courage and honor of our troops. Even though Memorial Day is a time to celebrate the freedom we have in America, we should never forget that that very freedom came at the expense of the brave heroes who lost their lives fighting to protect it.
Some great volunteers from Santander Consumer USA came to our warehouse on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 to help us prepare for our next care package packing party. They taped around 25 large brown boxes and filled 440 bags with small toiletries. The sandwich sized bags contained shampoo, lotion, shaving cream, toothpaste, bodywash, mouthwash, soap plus some other items. We really appreciated their service as it saves us time so we can focus on collecting, sorting and preparing the snacks and toiletries for our next packing party.
Thank you Santander Consumer USA for your support.

Here are some thank you letters and photos from two units that received the care packages we sent in April.
Ms Nancy,
I got back into my barracks room here in Djibouti and was completely overwhelmed by the amount of packages i received! Thank you so much for you and your organization's support to us! i have spent 2 days going through and organizing them by contents and everyone here is so psyched to have a fresh supply of morale. I just wanted to express my abundant thanks to you, the wonderful volunteers that put in the time and effort to make some complete strangers overseas' day just a little bit better, a little bit brighter and be able to have a little slice of home with them.
I will try and advocate for pictures to be taken, however the camp has a very strict no pictures or video policy anywhere except our rooms. so that may be a tall order. Thank you once again for all the support and keeping us in mind for the next rotation as well!
Even after I depart the theater in October, i will be certain to pass you and your organizations contact info to the incoming team. God bless and have a wonderful day.

Good morning Nancy,
I would like to thank you soo much on behalf of the Team.
The boxes went quickly, lots of trading and bartering happened in a flash. It was like an auction house for snacks and commodities.
tons of smiles and laughs really felt fresh like Christmas just happened. I will send you some photos of the entire group once we take our team pictures but in the meantime, here are some hard workers and some goofiness. Your hard work and dedication reminds us that we are cared for and that means a lot to us.
Again our sincerest thanks and glad to have your support and your spirit alongside us.

Mrs. Bell and her amazing Downing Middle School (Flower Mound, TX) students held their annual Sweet Tooth Bakery on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. The proceeds from bakery will be used to buy items for the care packages we send to our U.S. military troops serving overseas. The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas are proud to receive these donations and will make sure these goods reach our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines overseas.
The Downing Sweet Tooth Bakery has been an annual school project since 2013. The "Skills for Living & Principles of Human Services" students organize, market, manage and operate a bakery business to sell a variety of cupcakes, brownies, cookies and t-shirts. The profits are then used to buy specific care package items for American service members.
We appreciate these patriotic, hard working students! The troops will be excited to receive the care package with the items the students have purchased!

Some great volunteers from Santander Consumer USA came to our warehouse on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 to help us prepare for our next care package packing party. They taped around 250 boxes and decorated the flaps on the boxes with "love notes" to the soldiers. Their service is greatly appreciated as it saves us time so we can focus on collecting, sorting and preparing the snacks and toiletries for our next packing party.
Thank you Santander Consumer USA for your support.

Thank you Altrusa members for decorating the boxes we use for the care packages we send to our troops serving overseas. We hope the "Love Notes" on the flaps of the boxes bring a smile to the solders as open the boxes and find the goodies we have packed inside.
