Packages From Home would like to say thank you to the Sundt Foundation for their continued support and for choosing Packages From Home to receive a generous grant to support our mission! 

To date, Sundt has provided more than $4 million in aid to community organizations in Arizona, California and Texas. Packages From Home is honored that we were selected to be a recipient of their community giving!

Packages From Home would like to thank everyone who considered PFH their charity of choice in 2011! As we move forward to 2012 let's not forget the sacrifice of the men and women who have served this country. Let's all be thankful for those who arrived home safely from Iraq. It is important that we remain committed to the thousands of men and women still currently serving in our United States Armed Forces, in combat zones. Let's commit to continuing our mission and doing it well.

(This letter came to us from a base in Afghanistan after they had received their shipment from Packages From Home.)

Dear Packages from Home friends and supporters. I'm here at COP Garcia in Afghanistan as a DOD Civilian and my friend gave you guys some names of soldiers here. They couldn't release a full roster for OPSEC reasons, but I provided the names of a few I knew. You sent some great packages.

We often hear the question, “Now that the troops are coming home, what are you guys going to do?” The answer to that question is, “Continue to support our service men and women who are in harm’s way.”

The current government plan is to have all troops out of Iraq by the end of the year, but we still have nearly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, with more arriving each month, so there is still plenty of support to be given. So long as the US has troops either in danger zones or in areas that support those in the danger zones, we’ll continue to show our support by sending packages. So long as the Middle East is in turmoil and our men and women are helping in the fight for freedom, Packages From Home will be here showing our nation cares about our fighting men and women. We will continue to show them support, and hope that you will too!
