Request a Care Package |

Rank?*

Don't worry, info won't be used on your package.
What's your job?*

Not asking for your MOS. Please tell us what is it you do on a daily basis you can tell a civilian without violating OPSEC?
Branch of Service*

We support ALL branches, even though NAVY is the best!!! LOL
First Name (first) & Last Name (last)*
Military Address Line 1*
Military Address Line 2

Please make sure that your address contains EVERYTHING we need to get your package to you.
APO/DPO/FPO*
AA/AE/AP*
Zip Code*
Gender*
Country to which you're deployed*

The reason we ask - Do you want a stocking hat if you're stationed in Kenya? How about some hot weather gear for Poland? We can figure it out from the ZIP but please save us the extra time and effort. Play nice!!
State of Residence*

What state do you call home? We're "homeported" in Oklahoma. Why would a former Navy Sailor live in landlocked OK, you ask? Fell in love with an Okie gal when she wrote me a letter during the first Gulf War.
Mail Cut-off Date*
MM slash DD slash YYYY

This is so we make sure we can get your care package to you while you are still at the same location and able to receive your package. We place a "Give to Any Chaplain" sticker on each box so that if you are already on your way home, it will be distributed to someone else who might not otherwise be getting mail. Thought you would want it that way. Right?
Military Email Address*

This is a requirement!!! If you don't have a .mil address, please don't bother asking. We're small and have limited funds so can only help US Military. Sorry.
Birthday?*
What special interests do you have?

Cars? Golf? Woodworking? Hunting and Fishing? Cooking? Finance? Dogs? Etc. We'll try to send you some magazines you'll enjoy.
What can you tell us about your living conditions?*
What type of building - tent, hard stand building, container? Do you have electricity? Good chow? It helps us know what you might need in your box.
Does your group do humanitarian missions?
- Yes
- No
If so, what's needed to help you with that?
Can you use school supplies? What type? Pencils, pens, notebooks, rubber bands, binder clips, etc.
- Yes
- No
What kinds?
Can you use toys?
- Yes
- No
Medical Supplies, and if needed, what kind?
Do you have any special requests?*
If you like M&Ms better than Skittles, let us know. If you're allergic to peanuts, this is the place for that info. If you want a Ferrari - yeah, good luck with that!!! The more info you give, the better we can design a box especially for you.
One last thing....
Is there one special thing you would like us to know about you?

Our message to you - We want you to know we sure appreciate you for doing the difficult jobs your nation requests of you. THANK YOU for keeping us safe and providing our freedoms!!! Come home safely and soon. We're praying for you all!
We love each of you. We have done The Hugs Project since June 2004 without anyone taking a salary. It's our labor of love - for you.*
We love supporting our Military and we're happy to try to meet your needs. May we ask a small favor in return? We don't hear back from "over there" very often. Our members are thrilled to hear messages from you so please let us hear something from you in ^ this ^ spot or by USPS. We're making a memento wall for our office and would like to include a coin or patch from your unit. Would you please put something into an envelope and send to....Ray & Karen Stark 2216 NW 157th Terrace Edmond, OK 73013? If you send a unit patch or coin, you will receive something from us in return. Thank you for sharing so those who helped make this accomplishment possible can have a special memory of you.

you guys make the distance feel a little less during the rough times. hearing your name called out during mail call is such a lift to your spirits knowing someone back home cares and appreciates you.

Thank you all for what you do. I cannot stress how much people like me appreciate organizations that help guys and girls like us out from just the kindness in their hearts. As a National Guard Soldier on his 2nd deployment having to put my life on pause to go overseas can at times be especially difficult but knowing how many resources there are for Soldiers out there somehow makes my heart warmer in this already incredibly hot desert. I love this organization in particular because you really can sense the care for the individual in the way the forum was written. Everyone in some capacity wants to feel special and I can with certainty that being here it is not the easiest thing to attain. I will say it again thank you so much for all that you do.
