We love getting a heartfelt message from someone who has received one of our care packages. Sometimes, we don't realize what will make an impact on others, often, it's the small things, like an Oreo or trail mix, along with a nice note. ❤️

“I want you to know that your gifts have a big impact on our lives. Most important of which is the support. As we continue to operate under stressful conditions, I have noticed contact with people from the US, in the form of letters and packages, has an amazing and uplifting impact on the soldiers.”

Did you know?

Shipping costs increase dramatically during the holidays.

This is also the time when service members can use a reminder of home more than ever. Many of these men and women are away from home for the first time and may feel lonely during the holidays without the privilege of spending time with their family and friends.

The good news is that YOU can make a difference by making a donation to Packages From Home.

Donate now at packagesfromhome.org.

We recently had the opportunity to meet the team at Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona and tour their Veteran and Military Family Career Center. Their team’s dedication to supporting veterans and military families is truly inspiring. Through our Packages For Hope program, we provided food and hygiene kits to support veterans in need. It was a full circle moment when a Goodwill team member shared that she had received care packages from us during her deployment!

Goodwill’s Career Center offers a wide range of services, including resume building, computer skills, NorthStar certification, financial and digital literacy, and access to MyCareerAdvisor.com. They also provide meeting and training spaces, and a Chapter Service Officer from Disabled American Veterans is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Essential skills courses are also offered to help veterans further their development.

These partnerships are invaluable in helping veterans access the resources they need. Together, we can make a real difference.

Our Story | How It All Began

On 9/11 Christian Lewis watched the Twin Towers fall and enlisted in the US Army infantry the next day. His mother, and Packages From Home Founder, Kathleen Lewis, sent him care packages while he was first deployed to Iraq in 2004. Christian said receiving Packages From Home not only provided needed and familiar items, but also reminded him he hadn't been forgotten-that there were people back home supporting him. Unfortunately, Christian was the only solider in his squad receiving packages and letters from home. Kathleen rallied her closest friends and decided to “adopt” Christian’s entire squad. The group began shipping packages to all of the troops in Christian’s unit and Packages From Home was born.
