What to Send

Anysoldier.com is a wonderfully organized site where service men and woman can volunteer to be the organizer and distributor of gifts from home. Your gifts/donations will be sent to the coordinating soldier to be distributed to his or her unit. 

The lists below come directly from the coordinator and troops requests.

We've identified soldiers that come from the surrounding states and from other parts of the country. In our note, we invite them for a free weekend stay once they return.

Here is a LIST of recommended items that any unit can use!

Thanks so much for your kind participation!
