USO Care Packages provide a “touch of home” to service members away from home. Operation USO Care Package enables individuals to express their support for our troops by sponsoring a Care Package and including a personal message. The Operation USO Care Package program began in 2003 and has stuffed more that 1.9 million care packages. The USO sends approximately 25,000 packages a month to deployed service members. USO Care Packages are distributed to boost morale among troops participating in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The care packages contain an assortment of items that our military have specifically requested, such as prepaid international calling cards, disposable cameras, toiletries, and entertainment items. At a minimum, each care package specifically includes: shampoo, conditioner, hand sanitizer, tooth paste, a tooth brush, sunscreen, wet wipes, reading material, playing cards, powdered drink mix, gum, snacks, lip balm, travel toilet tissue and a personal message of support from the donor.
