A Very Angel Holiday

What an amazing Holiday Season this has been at Soldiers’ Angels!  We all worked and planned so hard for months and it has finally come together. Here are just a few snapshots of what the generous hearts and tireless spirits of Angel volunteers accomplished this Holiday Season.

• Over 85,000 care packages were sent to heroes on the front lines, many containing gifts for more than one service member.
• Over 1,250 struggling military families were adopted by individual Angel volunteers who gave them children’s presents and a gift card for a holiday feast.
• Over $50,000 worth of toys were donated to military children in need or with deployed parents, through FRG (Family Readiness Group) holiday parties across the country.
• Over 50 laptops, iPads and Kindle Fires were given to wounded warriors to aid in their recovery and reintegration.  Gaming systems were given to VA hospitals, facilitating physical therapy and socialization for the patients there.
• Most every VA hospital in America received a shipment of socks, coffee mugs, coffee and blankets from Soldiers’ Angels and volunteers around the country.
• Each major military medical center received a delivery of Christmas gifts and handmade/written holiday cards from across the country.

This amazing list does not include the thousands of adopting Angels who made sure their deployed received a box from home, the countless patriotic Americans who flooded the warehouses with holiday greeting cards to be placed in care packages, and the local bands of Angels who worked to support military families and deployed units in their areas.
Truly we accomplish amazing things when we lift those Angels wings and work together!
