I would like to start a community service program, sending care packages to troops. Where do I begin?
-
There are no organizations or community service programs in my area that support the troops by sending care packages. I would like to get this program start without having to go throug all the twists and turns of creating a non-profit. Is there some easy and official way to start a recognizable community service program or organization? Thank you!

Answer:
Don't reinvent the wheel, there's already a nation wide program. It's called Adopt A US Soldier (AAUSS). Here's their link: http://www.adoptaussoldier.org/ Pick one or many, and start sending packages. Advertise on your local Craigslist, seeing if anyone wants to donate, or help purchase items to send. Contact your local VFW (Veterans of Foreign War) and see if there are already people in your community sending out care packages (you'll be surprised) and join or help those people. ~Garnet Permaculture homesteading/farming over 20 years Wife of a Navy Vet.

You can't. You must work with a registered nonprofit such as the USO Packages sent from unknown people are not accepted. Any package must be delivered to a specific soldier with acceptable items only Go to the USO, learn what to do and how to proceed.
