How You Can Help

  1. Cash and Gift card donations are happily accepted. PLEASE SUPPORT   OUR NEW "Team Tri ing To Raise Money For Our Grunts" Fundraiser  

  2. "Wish list" items for our Marines. Items can be dropped off at the listed drop off locations or can be picked up at your convenience.

  3. We are always looking for businesses to become "donation drop off locations" and to help spread the word

  4. Get your Church or childrens' schools or groups involved in donation "drives" to collect items for "our" Marines (e mail us for customizable fliers)

  5. Get your childrens' schools or groups involved in "letter writing"

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Tampa Bay Area  in filling up our donation boxes and doing Community and School drives with fantastic results, we are "good to go" on many items for the next 3 months (probably longer) .

 Our remaining wish list is short but are items necessary  to "fill in the blanks" for the next 180  large flat rate boxes (3 months) ! The  Special Request  and bold items in each category are items are the most commonly requested  nicities but all on the list will be gratefully accepted and sent !  Some  items may seem odd but as you all know one of the most special things about "Support Our Marines" is that we focus our support on the Marines in the most austere conditions and customize our packages instead of sending the generic "support our troops" type boxes

 		Our Shipping Cost run $660.00 - $825.00 a month so a  PRIMARY need  is  always cash for shipping!  

Support Our Marines is committed to getting out AT LEAST 60 packages a month to our Heroes forward deployed regardless of donations.  Miss Villano  absorbs any of the shipping  costs out of pocket  not covered by donations in order to meet this commitment

We have enough items to be shipping up to 80 boxes a month but are limited to that which we can afford to ship.

 

Politicians who won't win anyway raise millions of dollars in A DAY. Our total  annual needs for shipping, requested items not donated AND state and professional fees are  only $24,000.

Can't we raise at least that much for our Heroes who sacrifice so much?
