While we are enjoying summer outdoor activities and going on vacation, our service members in the Middle East are suffering through extreme heat in the summer months when daily temperatures can exceed 100 degrees by 9:00 AM.  They are in fairly remote locations without a U.S. PX or other amenities and do not have the ability to go purchase more items when needed.   

 

Hugs for Soldiers is collecting items through July 2021 requested by our troops.  Donated items will be packed and shipped overseas as soon as we receive them.  When a service member is deployed, anything they receive from home is greatly appreciated.

 

Wish list items for male and female troops:

 

• Sunscreen/after sun (lotion & pump spray).  NO AEROSOLS; Aloe Vera Gel

• Socks – white or black crew – and ankle socks to keep feet clean and dry

• Cooling Towels

• Chap Stick

• Hand Fans or Personal Portable Fans

• Letters and cards of thanks for the sacrifices they are making for us.

• In addition, please consider making a monetary donation to support the shipment of these packages.

​

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
