These care packages may represent their only break from the 20 hour days

and perhaps give them an opportunity to thnk of home with a smile.  Their

care packages may also contain things that they really need and cannot

get--little things that improve their well-being.  Items such as a fresh

toothbrush or foot powder to make their feet more comfortable--the things

you and I take for granted.

The Marine Corps Family Support Community sends more than 50 care packages per month, so we need all the help we can get!  We rely completely on donations from individuals and businesses to provide items, as well as for donations to cover postage costs, which averages $1,000 per month.  

We also rely on lots of folks coming out to our packing nights to help pack the boxes. 

Many schools and businesses hold donation drives for MCFSC.  Think about where you work or where you children go to school, or your church.  One or two items from employees or students can add up fast.  If you need help with these ideas or need items picked up contact Charlie Carter at charliecarter@mcfscoh.ohg.

Please Note:  MCFSC follows DoD guidelines and does not send pork products, liquids over 3 ounces, adult content magazines.  Neither does MCFSC send soaps, aerosol cans, shampoos or other liquids/items that could leak or cause other products to absorb their odor. 

          Remember!

MCFSC is an approved 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization...

Your donations, whether personal or made through your business can be tax-deductible

Imagine, if you can, being thousands of miles from home in a hostile environment.  You want a snack but there is no kitchen or store to go to buy anything...

Imagine that all of your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner -- if you get three meals a day) are all pre-packaged (MRE - meal ready to eat), and sometimes it's the same meal over and over again.

 Imagine not having access to a good cup of coffee, or even a dry pair of socks that aren't crusted with sand...
