Join Us to Help Send Holiday Care Packages to Deployed American Warriors!

Time and time again, deployed service members have told me the same thing:
"Care packages matter."
Imagine being thousands of miles away from the comforts of home this holiday season. Imagine only being able to have a rare conversation with your loved ones via satellite phone or, if you're lucky, Skype. Imagine going out on a combat patrol on Thanksgiving Day, as thousands of U.S. troops have done during a decade of war.
That's why for the third consecutive year, the Travis Manion Foundation will gather to put together care packages for our deployed warriors. This year's Operation Care Package event will be held at Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown, Pa., on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We hope you can join us for this special event!
You have until Veterans Day -- Friday, Nov. 11 -- to donate items to fill these care packages, which are bound for brave troops serving overseas. For a complete list of items you can donate, please click here for an updated list.
Care packages matter. To lift the spirits of men and women volunteering to protect us during this holiday season, through boxes filled with items they need, we would deeply appreciate your help.
