Summer Care Packages: Help Them Beat the Heat!

Do us a favor and check your weather app for the forecast in Kuwait for the next week. Can you believe it?

It’s the hottest time of the year in countries around the world, and American Service Members are stationed in many of those places. No matter how scorching it gets, they still have to fulfill their duties, often in environments with minimal comforts like air conditioning, all while in full uniform.

So, if you're preparing to send care packages or considering adopting a deployed Service Member, please take the high temperatures into account when packing!

This means not only ensuring that what you send won’t melt, but also including items that can bring a bit of fun and help cool them down. Freezer pops, cooling scarves, water squirters, water balloons, and other fun summer items can provide much-needed entertainment while cooling them off from the hot sun!

Check out our blog post here to learn more great tips for sending summer-proof care packages!

Don't have anyone to send a care package to yet? You're in luck! It just so happens that we have over 530 deployed Service Members waiting for support at this very minute!!

Angel volunteers are desperately needed to send one-time care packages or to adopt a Service Member for the length of their deployment!

Bake Sale for Our Heroes

Huge thanks to church members at St. Christopher Hellenic Orthodox Church in Peachtree City, Georgia! Led by Angel Faye, VA Deputy Representative for Soldiers' Angels Atlanta, church members of all ages gathered to bake Greek butter cookies and other treats. The items were sold the next day during church services to raise funds for Soldiers' Angels.

The bake sale was a success, selling every box of goodies and raising valuable funds. It also educated the youth on the importance of supporting Veterans. Veterans in the parish were honored, adding a special touch to a day filled with community spirit. We thank St. Christopher Hellenic Orthodox Church for their unwavering support.

Operation Warm Winter: Off to a Great Start!

From July 1 - September 30, Soldiers’ Angels will collect warm items that will be shared directly with homeless Veterans in need across the country through VA Hospitals we support. Formerly our annual Blanket Drive, this campaign has expanded to include highly requested coats, hats, and gloves.

This year, we hope to collect at least 2,000 winter items and so far, the campaign is off to a great start reaching over 1,200 items in the first month!
