Sending Care Packages To Our Troops
Since 2004, SKIP has been an all–volunteer organization focusing the majority of its efforts on sending care packages to U.S. military members who are currently deployed overseas. We finished 2009 by sending our largest shipment to date, 798 care packages. Over the years we've met some great people and worked with some wonderful organizations to provide the best support America can offer our military. One thing SKIP does not do is compete with any other organization that supports our troops. We firmly believe that teamwork is crucial to mission success, and therefore, if we can help other supporters in some way we want to help (see Other Opportunities To Support Our Troops below). In the same respect, we appreciate it when other organizations help us.
Many of the organizations that were formed after 9–11 to support our troops have fallen and others are still falling. SKIP is one of those that has become unsteady, but we're still fighting to stick around, hoping that this year will improve. Because of this decline, unfortunately, SKIP is not able to accept new care package requests at this time. Early this summer however, be on the lookout for the next scheduled shipment because we have raised enough funding and supplies to support the 500+ troops currently on our list. Right now we're working out the details regarding packing and Post Office dates/times. We also hope to open up the care package request forms again soon.
