Lt. Gov. Fedele: For Our Military Families and Friends

For Our Military Families and Friends

 

 

We just got a lead on a new organization that supports our troops:

eMOM: EMail Our Military

Honor. Duty. Email.

 

Sometimes it's tough to find the time to sit and write letters. Well eMOM has solved that problem: now you can send an email to troop members! Check out eMOM and start sending those emails today.

 

Operation Gratitude sends care packages to our servicemen and women. You can shop for items or make donations to help cover postage. A donation of $11 sends one care package.

 

Operation Homefront is a website that supports our soldiers and the families left behind. It provides emergency assistance and morale to the troops, the families left behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home.

Operation Homefront also provides:

  • Emergency Aid - Food, baby care items, vehicle donation and repair.
  • Computer Program - Allows children and spouses to stay in touch with their loved one.
  • Financial Assistance Program - Crises such as illness, homelessness and death.
  • Furniture Program - Donated household and baby furniture; working order appliances.
  • Moving - Providing physical labor for families when a service member is deployed.
  • Social Outreach - Adopt-a-family, Thanksgiving/holiday baskets, back-to-school supplies.
  • Military Mondays - Promotes military discounts at businesses throughout the country.

If you’d like to help our troops call home, consider recycling your old cell phones—they can be cashed in to buy prepaid phone card minutes. www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com

If you’d like to donate your frequent flyer miles, it will help reunite wounded service members with their families. www.fisherhouse.org

If you’d like to put together a care package, check out this website for a list of needed items and adopt-a-soldier programs, check out www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/help.html.

Many deployed troop members are pet owners—from hermit crabs to horses, if you would like to become a foster military pet parent, check out www.netpets.org/netp/foster.php.
