It's not too late to send a care package to a woman currently serving overseas

INFO on Care Packages for Women currently serving overseas...

While most basic needs of troops are already provided for, there are always certain items that are in short supply especially items that are of particular interest to women.

For example, prepaid phone cards are the best and most useful things to send troops overseas, according to the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.  As well as phone cards, send a batch of blank greeting cards, note paper, pens and stamps so that troops can remember loved ones back home.

Small individually packaged items such as instant coffee, hot chocolate packets, and sugar packets, are always needed. Instant food items such as breakfast foods, instant soup mixes, and ready-to-eat meals and salad kits, are ideal. Also, individual packs of snacks, such as chips, peanuts, pretzels, cereal and granola bars, brownies, cakes, candy and gum. Chocolate items or any product that will melt is a bad idea.

Personal items, such as T-shirts, hats and gloves, flip flops or shower shoes, and shoe polish are great.

Other items such as sunscreen (for a woman’s face) and lotion and wrap-around sunglasses are vitally important as many troops are stationed in very hot areas. Other hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, Band-Aids, feminine hygiene products, shoe inserts, mole skin, etc. (think hiking and camping…).

Entertainment is a luxury that troops need. Send items such as books, movies DVDs and music CDs, magazines, puzzle books, handheld electronic games, playing cards and magazines.
