THIS MONTH WE ARE SUPPORTING:
Airborne Angel Cadets: Serving Those Who Serve
Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas sends care packages to American servicemen and women stationed in some of the world’s most remote and dangerous locations.
Filled with everyday essentials, favorite snacks, and comforts from home, each package sends a simple but powerful message: You are remembered, appreciated, and supported.
Care packages are sent year-round to troops from all 50 states and every branch of the U.S. military—including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Many recipients serve on the front lines or at remote outposts in Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Southwest Asia, and other areas around the world.
Even the simplest items can make a big difference. Toiletries, socks, coffee, snacks, batteries, and other daily necessities may be difficult to find overseas. Many service members also request items they can share with local children, families, schools, and community organizations.
Ways to Pray:
- Pray for the safety of our servicemen and women, especially those serving in dangerous and remote locations.
- Pray for their safe return home.
- Pray for the continued support and resources needed to send care packages year-round.
Ways to Help:
Please donate the requested items and sizes so everything can be packed and shipped easily:
- Bar soap
- 2.6-ounce solid deodorant
- Tuna pouches packed in water
- Individual instant oatmeal packets
- Lip balm or ChapStick
- Peanut butter or cheese snack crackers
- 16-ounce jars of peanut butter
- Eight-count boxes of Jif To Go
- Full-size toothpaste
- Movie-theater-style boxed candy
Every donation—large or small—helps bring encouragement and a taste of home to someone serving far away.
Ways to Volunteer:
Individuals, families, groups, and businesses can all make a difference.
