MILITARY CARE PACKAGE PROGRAM
Military Care Package Program
If you or your organization would like to help support deployed troops, there are many ways to get involved. You can donate items such as food, instant coffee, and protein powder at one of our many drop off locations in SW Riverside County. The largest expense is shipping costs. Letters of support for our military are always welcome and appreciated and you can now send an e-card! Simply fill out the form and we will print it out and mail it with a care package overseas for you!
Questions? Send an email to military@MilVet.org or call 951-902-9681 for more information.
