NETROOTS FOR THE TROOPS

Each year for the past four years, we at the non-profit Netroots for the Troops® have raised money to send hundreds of specially designed Care Packages to U.S. combat troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. These packages have included the practical, such as gloves, gel shoe insoles, socks, sand scarves, powdered energy drinks and LED flashlights, as well as the recreational, such as DVDs, CDs and comic books.

All told, in those four years we have shipped 1100 Care Packages to military personnel in three different Brigades of the 3^rd Marine Division in cooperation with their Family Readiness Office, and to elements of the 101^st Airborne.  This year we'll be supporting the 841st En Bn. LTC William S. "Clete" Schaper Battalion Commander.

This year our goal is twofold: 150 Care Packages overseas, and 300 to VA Hospitals in the NE/NY region. That's no small matter.  Acquiring the products to go into the packages and shipping them overseas will cost approximately $100,000. To meet that goal, we need your help.

You can assist us, either as an individual or as a corporation. Individuals can make a cash donation by clicking below:
