Default Adopting a soldier.

My mom aand me are wanting to "adopt" a soldier to send care packages to. Instead of going over board for Christmas gifts to family and such I thought it would be money put to a much better use.

Anyone have a good site they would reccomend? I have found a few that sound promising but would like to know if there is one ya'll have tried with success.

Thanks!

If I remember right, Brigade Quartermasters had care-packages you could purchase and have sent to someone specific or just someone deployed. I know they had links to sites that dealt with that as well.

http://www.actiongear.com

I was looking at something similar except it includes a fundraiser motorcycle ride Washington state. I posted about it on here.

Good luck, and thank you.

I couldn't find the links on there for sending out the packages, but I did find this.

I've seen a lot of pages around the 'net that talk about anysoldier.com, including on a Department of Defense site.

Well, think I found two guys to send things too. One being deployed to Afghanistan and the other in the Navy to Bahrain(sp?). Both are sons of friends. Would like to send things not only they can use. Will know more after they deploy. The first one should be deployed around Christmas.
