Many Ways To Help

Donations of time, merchandise and dollars are appreciated.

Please note: In order meet shipping deadlines so gift boxes will reach our troops before Christmas, we would appreciate receiving donations before Oct. 31 (sooner would be very helpful)!

Here are some ways you can support Operation Iraq: The Spirit of Christmas.

Volunteer to be a shift coordinator – for a day, a week or longer.
Volunteer to help with packing cartons (and bring friends!)
Volunteer to write notes of thanks on greeting cards.

Donate beverages for the volunteer packers and work crews.

If you are a kid
Draw pictures and write notes of thanks to the troops.
