Soldiers' Angles provides aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, their families, and a growing veteran population. (https://soldiersangels.org/)
As you can see from the video, Soldiers' Angels does more than just send candy to our troops. In addition to donating candy, you can write letters to soldiers and drop it off with the candy, mail care packages with toiletry items, non-perishable food, or give a financial donation. https://soldiersangels.org/donate.html
From their website:
"In 2018 alone, Soldiers’ Angels provided over $25 million in aid to over 515,000 service members, veterans, wounded heroes, and military families. Through the Deployed Support Programs, combat deployed service members were supported with 28,659 care packages and 177,307 letters. The Veteran Support Program served over 24,600 veterans with food assistance and handed out over 39,995 items bedside to patients in VA Hospitals across the country. Through the seasonal holiday Adopt-A-Family program, Soldiers’ Angels volunteers “adopted” 1,637 military families, that included 2,882 military children. New and expectant spouses of combat deployed as well as active-duty female service members were provided 1,165 baby boxes to help them welcome their new bundles of joy. Soldiers’ Angels volunteers are the heart of the organization and logged over 164,524 volunteer hours just in 2018!"
Thank you for your support!
