Operation USO Care Package

Hundreds of thousands of military personnel are serving in far-off places defending the liberties we hold so dear—away from their families, friends and the comforts of home. To show these troops that they have not been forgotten and to help boost their morale, the USO created the Operation USO Care Package program.

Since 2001, the USO has distributed more than one million care packages to troops deploying to Afghanistan, Iraq and other overseas locations, as well as those arriving and departing on rest and recuperation (R&R) flights.

Due to heightened security, individuals can no longer send letters and packages marked for delivery to "Any Service Member.” Through Operation USO Care Package, you can sponsor a care package for just $25 and a personal message of support and thanks to a service member. Care packages can contain prepaid international phone cards, snacks, sunscreen, toiletries, compact discs and other items requested by service men and women.

Recognized and supported by the Department of Defense, the Operation USO Care Package program is a way to send a message to encouragement, thanking the troops for their service and sacrifice.
