Soldiers’ Angels has been an amazing organization to volunteer with. The organization itself has changed my life in so many ways. The team leaders have been so helpful and are so involved with their groups! For what it’s worth, coming from a long line of family who served this organization makes all the difference. For us and for those overseas. They pride themselves on making sure each and every service member overseas knows that they will not go unloved. With that being said, I plan to be with this group for a very long time!

When I deployed with my husband to Afghanistan 2010-2011, I had an Angel "Teresa" write to me weekly. I absolutely loved it. When I got out in 2016 I decided I wanted to give back and support the Ladies of Liberty. I know how tough it can be to be a female in the military which is why I chose LOL. Thank you Soldiers Angels for all the amazing things you do.

I have been volunteering with Soldiers' Angels since 2009, and it has been one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences I've ever had. You get to connect with a wonderful group of like minded Angels who are true patriots that love their country and the men and women who sacrifice(d) so much for our nation's freedoms. You get to help brighten the day of active duty service men and women, their families and veterans.

This group of angels has served at call of service members and veteran community. They work hard in getting volunteers for boxes to be sent overseas, medical boxes to injured and hospital bound. Food distributing every month and holiday help. It's incredible how loving these folks are

I have been involved with Soldiers’ Angels for several years. I have donated money, goods (blankets, socks, Christmas stockings, Halloween Candy), and my time. I recently participated in a San Antonio Food Distribution Event. The looks and expression of appreciation from those we were serving were truly humbling. I have been in their office several times and have witnessed the genuine care and concern they have for our Veterans, Active Duty Members, and their families. As a retired AF Lt Col, it is an honor to support those who have and are serving.

It's an okay organization. They have some kinks to smooth out and then I think things could go alot smoother. But, other then that it's okay.

Soldier’s Angels stands true to their motto, May No Soldier Go Unloved. I have been a volunteer with them just short a couple years now and have no intention of leaving. Being able to reach out directly to our deployed and vets through their many different opportunities is truly an amazing experience.

I have been able to be apart of this amazing organization. It feels amazing to be able to let our service men and women know how much we appreciate them and give them cheer while they are so far away from home protecting our great country.

Soldiers’ Angels has helped me reach service members who feel homesick, unloved and alone. I am an angel, I change that along with my fellow angels. This organization has helped me serve my country in a way I never thought I would. ������

This is a wonderful organization that is efficient, organized and truly cares. I love being a Soldiers’ Angel volunteer! The work they do for soldiers who are deployed is wonderful!

I have worked with many charities but never one like Soldiers' Angels. I adopt deployed service members through this wonderful organization and their gratitude for even the smallest thing that reminds them of home and that people care is worth so much. Another great thing, is that I know what I send goes directly to the service member, not for overhead or to pay staff, because I buy and ship the care packages myself. Soldiers' Angels does so much in so many ways to support our great military!

Soldiers Angels is always ready to support our current and past military and their families. I believe other volunteers feel the same as me, that is, a passion to showing appreciation to all those that have sacrificed so much.

I’ve been a Soldiers Angel since 2008. I have never worked with such a dedicated group of patriots in my life! My son just deployed with Special Forces and now this incredible group is touching my life in a whole new way. God bless Soldiers Angels and God bless the USA!

I joined this organization because I just wanted to be a small help to some deployed service member. What I didn’t realize was how truly supportive this organization is in so many areas - deployed military, their families and veterans. The leaders are knowledgeable and responsive and the closed Facebook groups provide encouragement, advise and feels like true friends working on the same goal - support for our military members. I LOVE this organization and proud to be part of it!

I came across Soldiers Angels around the holidays. I read up on the Angels and decided to join. I started in the sending, stockings and in the cards group. I moved around to adopting soldiers. Sending Thank you cards to Honor Flights. There's no better feeling than a deployed soldier sending you a Thank you for sending a package or card to them. Something that is so small to us means the world to them. What it comes down to is. We are the land of the free because they are the brave. They risk it all for us and it's my pleasure sending them things to make their deployment a little easier

I how ben a part of Soldiers' Angels for 12 years, the last 4 as a Team Leader for one of our Deployed Services Teams. A am grateful to the volunteers who have dedicated their time and energy. I have had the opportunity to make presentations that have proven enlightening to those in the audience. It helps to keep awareness of the ongoing responsibilities our Military has to keep us safe. That is the job these men and women have chosen. I feel it is my honor to support them.

I joined this group a year ago. I'm part of the group that sends baked goods overseas to our service members. The organization is fantastic - well run & works hard to help our active duty, veterans and their families.

Soldiers' Angels does incredible work for our service members, veterans, and their families. I have been a volunteer for 3 years, and I am continually impressed by the impact Soldiers' Angels has on the lives of our deployed military and veterans. With so many different ways for volunteers to get involved, there is bound to be an opportunity that fits every volunteer's budget and time. I particularly love that I am able to send support in the form of letters and care packages directly to deployed service members so I can rest assured my efforts are going directly to those who need it.

Soldiers Angels is an amazing non-profit organization helping our deployed soldiers in so many ways. As a part of the Angel Baker Tea, its a way to volunteer and show them we care.

There is nothing Soldier's Angel's won't do to help someone in the military, particularly the deployed. No politics, no judgement, just, "this soldier/Marine/seaman needs something. We're going to get it for him."

Great group doing great things Always very supportive

I have always wanted to reach to DEPLOYED Soldiers and never could find a surefire way if doing so, so i stopped my search. But when my Niece joined the Airforce i began my search again and found this organization for her, the following day i realized i could be come an angel here i am. Finally able not only touch the lives of deployed service members but also find support for my deployed niece.

I am so happy to be a part of this organization

I joined to help support those currently deployed. I have done so since I was a teen back in the 70s. This was my avenue to continue to support, as I do not personally know someone currently overseas. This group holds to high (and necessary) standards for both the sender's and receiver's privacy and safety. There is endless support for those sending and ongoing ideas and suggestions for those receiving. This group is friendly and welcoming. This friendly welcome is not only from the organizers, but from others who are volunteering, as well.

I have been an angel for many years and this organization is the best! We support each other along the way and I feel like a have a second family. I look forward to supporting my soldiers and giving them a little piece of home whether its through a letter or a goodie box. It is a very rewarding experience.

I've been working with these great people for years. Never have I met a group that cares nor gives so much of their time and talents to our current and past military personnel.

This is such a wonderful group. We don't always hear back from our service members because of how busy they are. When we do, they are so grateful for the support. The leadership is great too

I love the way Soldiers Angels is set up
and it’s mission statement. I’ve been an Angel (volunteer) for only 3 mos but I’ve loved every minute of it! As an Angel, I get so much more satisfaction than I would by just sending a monetary donation. Even if I never hear from my adopted service member, I am part of a very communicative community of Angels.

I only recently joined, but this is an amazing org of very helpful and very caring people. They are helping to support the troops with care packages, letters, baking, and in a great many other ways (I'm part of the baking team). All of the volunteers are *VERY* giving of their time to help support the troops, *BUT* also to support each other (I've learned more about baking and sending cookies in two months than in my previous 5 years of baking!).

I was looking for a charity for service members. So many of them are scams. Soldier's Angels received favorable reviews, so I joined up. I was embraced from the first communication. All my questions get answered swiftly. The Facebook page for sharing ideas and information is so helpful. I am not a natural poster but I have been compelled to share often because the atmosphere is so supportive. I have enjoyed looking for things to fill my monthly box and each Sunday afternoon I sit down and write my service member a letter. I would recommend this charity for their good work as well as their communication skills.

Since I became a Soldier’s Angel, I’ve been greeted and brought into a family of helpers, supporters and wonderful people.
So proud to be a part of this amazing nonProfit organization.

Volunteering with Soldiers Angels has been an amazing experience. Team and Group leads are quick to help with any questions that may arise. Your fellow volunteers are always there to assist with ideas. And on top of all that, it's so satisfying to know that you're helping and supporting some of our service members overseas.

I like that Soldier’s Angels enables me to provide direct-to-service member support by mailing care packages. I also like that over 90% of my financial support is used towards the mission instead of administrative costs. Whenever I speak to my team leader or other Soldier’s Angels representative, they are always friendly and helpful, too.

I enjoy feeling part of team who is able to show our support to those serving our country!������������������

I've been with Soldiers' Angels for the past six months as a volunteer, and I love working here! The people are warm and encouraging and the office staff go out of their way to assist us volunteers. They always have a smile on their faces and always say thank you. I love supporting our military and this organization goes over and above in showing love to the service personnel.

I’ve been a member of Soldiers Angels for over 9 years and I love the work we do . We acknowledge the sacrifices made, not only by service members, but their families , as well. It is a pleasure to support our troops , who give so much for our country.

Great communication of needs and rapid delivery of items to VA hospitals and service members. Fills a need for the families of the deployed as well.

I have been with Soldiers’ Angels for only six months, but it has blessed me beyond how I thought it would. I guess I thought it was going to be more of a one-way street of thanking our service members for what they do. Never did I expect to be the one thanked. It is truly humbling and gratifying to know that we are making a rough situation just a little more tolerable for them.

I’ve been volunteering with SA for over 4 years now. As a member of the military community myself, I am grateful for organizations such as SA. There are several different programs to chose from and all of the group leaders as well as fellow volunteers are very helpful.

This company does so many amazing things for our enlisted, veterans, spouses of wounded warriors and much more. I am proud to be a member for the past 11 years on their baking team and supporting spouses. They never ask for anything for themselves. There are so many of us that volunteer. The military community is so grateful for the extra care we give them. It is a non profit that truly is for the benefit of our military.

I have in the past couple months joined soliders angels! I feel that it's helping me grow as a person. I love being able to give back to the people that are protecting my freedom and all the privlages I have come to know. I will never forget how this non profit has helped me grow as a person. I encourage everyone to sign up and help out!

I am a volunteer here who has loved being able to connect with service members who are deployed through handwritten letters and gift packages. I also love being able to interact with Veterans through the Soldiers' Angels organization at the VA hospital in my hometown. I have gotten so many responses from soldiers who appreciate all we do. I get so much joy from being able to write as many letters as I want a week. I love being able to remind a deployed solider that they are always in our thoughts and that all they do never goes unnoticed back in the states. Soldiers' Angels is so user friendly for any type of person who wants to dedicate whatever amount of time or effort to their cause. I have also met so many other likeminded volunteers who express the same joy for what I do. The community is so friendly, and I am so happy that I've been a part of such a wonderful effort that the Soldier Angels program dedicates itself to.

What a wonderful organization this one is.I am so proud to be in Soldiers Angels.We put our Service Members above all for what they do for us .I know we take care of our
Service Members

This organization does so much for our deployed and their families, and our veterans and caregivers. I’ve volunteered with them for 10 years, sending care packages and letters to service members. It’s a very well run program making a world of difference for those that serve our country. Proud to be helping them thank our service members!

I've been involved for a few months now as part of the baking team. Its a great organization with so many volunteers reaching out to our service members by writing letters, baking, sewing, etc. In my experience all the people involved are great - all questions are answered and people involved love helping others. If you have time to give I definitely recommend.

This organization goes above and beyond and provides amazing support to our veterans and deployed service members

Theses folks who needs some help all the time. Our aging vets. Once a month they line up regardless of the weather and pass out food I can use the rest of the month to fill in the “gaps”. It is a charity that helps individuals have food items we probably would not have on the table everyday. Tears well up each time I drive away with bags of food. They are special and I can’t thank them enough.

Why is Arizona not participating. How can I get our State involved?

This fall my husband was deployed, he spent a lot on things he needed prior to leaving, and his unit shared information on Soldiers’ Angels. I received a phone call before Christmas, and a few weeks later a box with gifts for my girls, a gift card for Christmas dinner and holiday card. I don’t know which of the 3 were happier when they opened their gifts and saw some
Of the things they asked for. Such a blessing!

It’s an honor to serve alongside such amazing people that truly care about our veterans and their families. I am humbled and grateful to be a part of the Soldiers’ Angels Family. #May No Soldier Go Unloved #May no soldier walk alone #May no soldier be forgotten #Until they all come home

I love this organization for the opportunities they empower me and others with to bless our service members. The support of administrators and team leaders has helped me in getting started with adopting troops over the past months. And their online presence makes getting assignments and reporting service painless!

One of the most helpful food resources available period.

The way the information is given out are not fair to some veterans. I received the email and applied immediately, not even up to two minutes. I immediately received automated message that it was filled up. I can't even get on the waiting list and this happened to me four months in a row. Therefore I truly believed that there is some inside favoritism going on with this program. I can give my name if I am allowed to and I am not the only one that has been experiencing this. I am a disabled veteran, I know it is a free program, however, you have to do it right or I will take it to further investigations. My email is prosign2003@yahoo.com. Thanks.

I got started with Soldiers Angels in the fall of 2017; I have absolutely adored being part of the Soldiers Angels team and helping to support the military! There are so many ways to serve by joining various teams or participating in any of the many events held throughout the year. The support that we receive from our team leaders via email, calls, or social media is very timely and greatly appreciated. Amy chance I get I’m telling others about Soldiers Angels and how it’s made a huge impact on me not only those we serve.

Fantastic Organization that help Soldiers & families. Always helping others and encouraging everyone. Been part of the organization for over a year and so THANKFUL and PROUD to be!

A great organization that offers many ways for anyone to help the continued support for our veterans and service members! The impact of the volunteers lasts a lifetime!

I recently joined the Soldiers Angels organization because I was absolutely blown away at all the amazing things they do to support our service men, women and their families! I have many friends, family and even my husband who are serving or have served in our military, so this organization is one that I hold very near and dear yo my heart!

I love being apart of a great team. I love the passion.

So many ways to help and get help for active service members, veterans and their families.

Soldiers Angels is a helpful and generous organization, one I'm proud to be a part of. They do just what they say they do. Through Soldiers Angels we can reach out and touch those who are serving and have served our country and us.
Soldiers Angels have programs that range from writing one letter one time to participating in "through the mail" baby showers, adopting a deployed soldier, providing programs at the VA's, baking, and so much more !
Being ex-military ( wife) I know and understand exactly what it feels like to be away from all you know and love and what a wonderful feeling it is to hear from someone, ANYONE , from home. My choice through this group has been to adopt deployed soldiers. They are so appreciative of anything we do, even a post card can lift their day. It is humbling to hear what the little we do means to them. It is a joy to me to think that with just a little effort I can let someone I don't know and probably will never meet, someone in uncomfortable, difficult circumstances, who stands between us who value our freedom, and those who would take it away, that they are thought of and cared about, something we all need.
It is a privilege to me to be able to do this.
Join us and help every soldier hear their name at mail call !

When we were awaiting my disability hearing (almost 3 years) I was unable to work a job, so we had very limited income. My HUDVASH case worker Miss. Toby H. being aware of our situation contacted Soldiers angels before Christmas to put us in for their adopt a family program. We were chosen by Aspen Dental Group in Melbourne, Florida. What a blessing! Miss. Marie P. and everyone there were very kind and accommodating.
Our 3 children had a wonderful Christmas thanks to everyone involved and my wife and I received a little sumpn sumpn too. Thanks to the true “Soldiers Angels” and our Lord Jesus Christ for making it all possible!

Almost a decade later and I still love supporting SA. There are so many teams you can join to make a difference. You can support those deployed or those here at home at the VA Hospital. You can write a letter, make a blanket, visit with vets... so many options. There is something for everyone to do, no skills necessary! Their support is much needed, so please consider joining it is only $1 a month to reach so many opportunities to help! They mean business when it comes to supporting our troops and vets!

I am on my 3rd soldier with them. I can't even explain how good it feels to help our soldiers and let them no they are appreciated. And they greatly appreciate it too. I have been thanked over and over again for writing them and sending them packages. This charity is doing so much wonderful work. We can not forget our soldiers. Freedom is not free and they need to know people back home are thinking of them. They do so much great work. I am so happy this charity exists.

I have worked with Soldiers Angels since 2015 and I love this group. The people are amazing and the mission even more so, helping Soldiers is what they are truly doing.

I have been watching this group for 4 years. Waiting and praying for a good paying job so I can be an Angel too.
I receive emails from this group. They share their package ideas with one another and inspire each other. This special group of people share their Love and heart and gratitude for our WARRIORS. Its amazing the heart and love these beautiful Angels have.
I hope to be one real soon.
I love and respect our WARRIORS too.
They help bring joy and fun to the lives of those in harms way miles and miles from home. Ask any WARRIOR who received a care package from these beautiful people and they will tell you how grateful they were to receive something from the heart of a Soldiers Angel. They do get something from their soldiers too. A note or card but most of all a warm feeling in their hearts knowing they helped someone's child in a time when chaos is all around them. THANK YOU SOLDIERS ANGELS

As an adviser for a middle/high school service club, we became part of Soldier's Angels and "adopted" a sailor who, the day after deployment, became a daddy. It was our very first year with our club, so we were looking for something in which we could help, as well as learn about military service and what it is they go through on deployment. I took several different "soldiers" to our club members and they voted, unanimously for our sailor.

We were very excited to help him and his fellow shipment during their 6 months at sea.
We do not live anywhere near a military installation, and 99% of the students know close to nothing about military service, etc. Because of Soldier's Angels, our students learned quite a bit, and were VERY EXCITED to do so.

My 2 teenagers and I wrote letters to soldiers in the field. It was rewarding to know that we brought them some comfort, that people back home cared about them and were praying for them.

Hello, I was introduced to soldiers angels 6 years ago their friend who also was a volunteer. I began writtinf letters and sent care packages. I am in awe of all the diverse ways they help. It a like they touch on every aspect of a soldiers life and their possible needs, as well as the connection to the soldiers family. I am happy to add any value I can. I have begun my own business and will include soldiers angels as a major nonprofit I will always contribute funds and time to as I know their integrity.
I am from a family full of military history.. for decades back . This is my favorite group .
Reach out to them and learn how your talents can add value to them as well.

Healthy wishes
Trish Garron

I have received great help through Soldier's Angel by using the food bank here in Georgia. I appreciate the care and great service they provide.

I have been a volunteer with Soldiers Angels for a number of years. This is a top-notch group that fully understands the needs of our troops and their families as well as the veterans who have returned home.

I helped with the food distribution for Veterans in Denver. This was very organized and so much fun. Engaging with the Veterans and thanking them for their service was the best part. I will continue to support this non profit organization!

GREAT WORK FROM THE STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Appreciate all that comes my way from you all.

Working with SA has been one of the most rewarding experiences. I have done many events but my favorite by far is the mobile food distribution. It’s a bit of work but the knowledge that I am able to help a veteran with food each month is very rewarding. I love the one on one contact with the veterans, we are starting to know one another.

Very helpful and always seem to appear at the right time. The assistance is very helpful.

Thanks

It's a great organization but you can't get thru to register they need a better way of enrolling the Soldiers.

I am humbled at what this non profit does for the US Veteran.
It is very important that we recognize and help our Veterans.
Keep up the good work.

Hello I am a USAF veteran. I struggle to met my basic needs because I can only do certain things due to a disability. The cost of housing is high in my area and wages are low. so when I can get the food distrubution it is a great help. I wish I could get more often......but they can only help a spefic amount. I appreciate being recognized as a female veteran. I really appreciate the food help when i can get it

Great service every time, food donations always a blessing and appreciate everyone sacrifice hard work and time... THANK YOU SOLDUERS ANGELS

I have and will continue to contribute to the charity for as long as I am financially capable. Soldiers Angels is a special organization. It holds a special place in my heart, coming from a family of many who have served.

LOVE Soldiers' Angels...they have so many opportunities to give back to our military. From blankets to adopting a soldier to creating Christmas stockings and sending Halloween candy. So many options and ways!!!

This place has helped me and my family time and time again. I have such a hard time making ends meet and having the 'angels' swoop in and feed us it helps soooo much.

Soldier's Angel's Is a great non-profit! The volunteers are always friendly and the service is much appreciated. In addition to food stuffs, they often have items such as toiletries, socks, etc. that they distribute also, items that show the love they have for us veterans.

I spent a few years helping them collect items for a hospital in Germany and making blankets for the soldiers. I had my class write letters to soldiers and help prepare packages to send. The organization was helpful and based on responses I got from the soldiers I know our packages were received.

Yes they are the top leader of charity I think and they are the Greatest. Thank You,Felton Clark jr.

I have a couple of Family members that are deployed and Soldiers Angels sent them care packages and it made them very happy.AWESOME Organization !

Absolutely incredible organizational, both inspirational and humbling experience

Soldiers Angels Provides a great help to the local Vetrans who are in need of food every month without having to stand up outside in cold or hot weather. Which is difficult and unbearable for many vetrans. This a great service to all of us. Thank you! Served in Detroit, Mi

My enjoyment is writing to the Soldiers. I even get letters back from some of them. I love being a Soldiers Angel.

You will get a lot of satisfaction being a Soldiers Angel!!

I love this organization because of the support that our military, past and present, as well as families of our military are shown support.

The staff/volunteers are amazing!! Thank you all for everything you do for us veterans.

The organization came through for me in a time of need for my family and I, I will always be grateful for that.

I have been a member of Soldiers'Angels since 2009. I never heard from the first 8 soldiers' names I had (4 from private sources and 4 from SoldiersAngels), the 9th person, a female soldier, answered my "Hello, you've been adopted" email within 7 minutes: from Massachusetts to Afghanistan and back again (I checked the times on the emails). She is of Mexican heritage. I have come to know her entire family. Here you have a New England Protestant and a woman of southwestern Mexican Catholic heritage who are friends to this day. What could be better than that?

I don't have any personal experience with them. I make greeting cards and they are sent to the service personnel so they can mail a card home to their loved ones. I mail an envelope full of cards, usually about 50 at a time. I did get nice letter thanking me.

This is the most humbling, amazing organization with a mission and vision to serve our Military Service members.

was hesitant at first to volunteer but read an article in Woman's World magazine about this great organization. I started making lap blankets (or comfort blankets as I like to call them) in January 2015. Have worked with several individuals to whom I sent these blankets and always they were appreciative. The men and women who distribute these blankets should be commended for all of their good work.

Their groceries and good attitudes make being a veteran unbelievably cooler.

I have been a member for years, and if I wasn't disabled I would do more to help than just donate when I can. This group truly cares for our service members, and I know how important this is as we were a military family for 20 yrs. We know the feeling of those that care.

This organization is filled with caring people who want to make a Soldier or Veteran feel appreciated . Many hours go into what they do. I am honored to help with such a group.

My family have been relying on the monthly Soldier's Angels donations for the past two years. Every item is a blessing. We have been able to have nutritional meals and new items we could not otherwise afford. This organization is a true blessing to us. Thank you

I have been "adopting" deployed service members since 2006 through this wonderful organization. It is a great way to truly support members of the Armed Forces- through letters and packages sent directly to them. While I often just adopt 1 SM at a time, often packages will contain enough goodies to share (especially around holidays).

What do I get in return? I know I make a difference in someone's deployment, whether I have them for a few weeks or a year. It's nice to say we support our troops- it's even nicer to actually do something for them!

Kudos to the volunteers who distribute foodstuffs to local Detroit (and environs) vets. They are out there rain, snow or shine. Hot or cold temps don't deter these compassionate individuals from feeding the less fortunate. I can't express the depth of my gratitude for the volunteers and the fantastic job they do on a monthly basis.

I have been informed that I missed 2 distributions dates. Not true, I missed only 1 in February this year. It's realistically impossible because only 2 months have lapsed so far this year. Please correct immediately.

This is by far the BEST " FOR VETERANS " Agency I have seen. Not only do they assist active members of the military community, with any type of assistance needed, but Soldiers Angels are always hosting sock drives, holiday cards and boxes. Coffee drives, and numerous other projects to help remind members of the military that they are loved and that the community at home is thinking about them. Soldiers Angels often partners with big box corporate America to assist veterans do home modifications/ home beatification protects. Often this gives the veterans a renewable since of pride with homeownership. Soldiers Angels doesn't chase high name of celebrity's endorsement and pay those exsobererent high salaries but yet Soldiers Angels have these big names volunteer and with more and more donating their salaries back to Soldiers Angels.

I found out about Soldiers' Angels many years ago when we were looking for a good charity to support through our company. We adopted a family and I've been volunteering ever since. I have been on the Letter Writing Team and the Deployed Adoption Team for years and I adopt a family every Christmas. The organization is run so thoroughly and expertly. There is always a team leader to help and support if needed. The recipients are so thankful and the reporting is quick and easy through the web site. We receive official letters for our tax deductions at the end of each year. The Soldiers' Angels Facebook group is a great place to share ideas, share stories and photos about our soldiers and to be involved in the community. I will continue working with this organization for as long as I can!

I went to a Soldiers' Angels event in San Antonio. The food was much needed and appreciated, and the vets and others out putting food in the trunk, were the nicest people you ever want to meet. The whole thing brought my spirits up and I felt that I was apart of something again. Thank you Soldiers' Angels!!!

This is a wonderful organization there is so many oppurtunities to help out our soilders.i helped out with valentine cards this year and will be sending socks for my next contribution.it gives you a blessed feeling to know you are doing gods work by helping our fellow man with there spirit and there personal needs.theres something for everyone to help with right from your own home.

Everyone is so helpful and pleasant.The website is very easy to use . I Receive my emails in enough time to register for my appointment.im 85 years old and this has been a blessing to myself and family .

After almost 14 years of Soldier's Angels helping out Veterans throughout the San Antonio area I've been so proud of this organization that I volunteer myself..

Best organization I know who supports soldiers truly. I have 6 deployments and they are there for all my guys make them fill missed and taking care of them.

I think Soldiers' Angels is doing a great job. I support when I can they need more support from more veterans and the public . Thank you God Bless and keep up with a great job

everyone from Amy on down is committed to the cause of serving Veterans

I signed up for Soldier's Angels a couple years ago when my brigade was the first to do a 9 month deployment to Europe. We started in Poland and had very limited access to anything American and familiar, and morale was not great.
I signed up to have contact from home, and hopefully get some comforting snacks.
I had contact with multiple different Angels, and each one was extremely sweet and kind. There are two in particular that I still think about going on two years later.

Soldier's Angels was a way for me to connect with home and other people, and I'm extremely thankful to this day for this organization.

It is so nice to have an option to volunteer at my pace and in my free time. The options available to me are perfect! Seeing the benefits of this organization makes it very worthwhile

The workers picked through the items; I had several opened and halfway empty containers of food. They behaved in a preferential fashion, giving some patrons more bags than others, filled with food.

We are non profit that significantly helps veterans and their families. Please contribute time or money to this great organization.

This is a fantastic group. My grandfather is a vet, so was my dad. I have had many friends in the military. All of them have said how important the support from home is while they are deployed. I have known soldiers to break down and cry when they get a simple card letting them know someone cares. I work at a university, and for the past few years, my students and I have put together care packages and letters for soldiers. It not only helps those who are far from home, but helps show my students the importance of connecting with others and that community service is valuable.

I was an Angel Baker for 4-5 years. During that time, I received numerous notes from the recipients of the packages I had sent over... The soldiers were touched and so thankful for the smallest thing.
Such a wonderful feeling to know you've made a bright spot in their lives. They deserve anything we can do to make their lives a little lighter.

I have had the pleasure of working with Soldier's Angels for a few years now & I absolutely love it! It means a lot to me that I am able to help out in so many different ways. I normally don't have time to volunteer or attend events as I travel almost every week for work, but I get to bake, make boxes, adopt a family at Christmas, write cards &/or make donations or purchases for any of the initiatives they have going on.

This is my favorite charity to be a part of and to donate to!

I’m a Combat disable veteran, feel like open hands, no judgement, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

This is an exceptional organization to support. Volunteers located throughout the country assisting both our veterans & their families. You can either donate your time or financially and the support is greatly appreciated no matter how its provided.

It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to working with them more in the future.

Amazing leadership and dedicated staff make this organization what it is today. Loyal and caring volunteers continue to support the mission!

I strongly support their Food distribution program

I first learned about Soldiers' Angels when my husband was in the army and I went to a military spouse appreciation event. I went by their booth and when the lady running the booth saw I was pregnant she offered a gift basket to us. It was so wonderfully sweet of them! Since I had signed up with them I would receive emails and letters about donation drives for care packages for deployed soldiers, as well as blanket and sock drives for veterans in the hospitals. I started donating for these fundraisers and the more I found what Soldier's Angels does for our active duty troops and veterans the more I got involved with them. I joined their card's plus team which sends cards to troops, veterans, and their families for birthdays, baby showers, deployment, and just general support. Last year I made them my birthday charity on Facebook, as well as on the day of giving where Facebook matched a certain amount of donations. I really love this charity. I love everything they stand for and everything they do for our heroes. After seeing my husband and his fellow soldiers go through deployment and those who are now veterans, I know how much a charity such as Soldier's Angels is needed.

Soldiers Angeles was instrumental in helping me through a very difficult time in my life. I was homeless and hungry with nowhere to turn. With their help and support and services in time I got back on my feet.

I am a veteran from Charleston SC with only limited resources while trying to maintain a minimum sufficient means of caring for myself. The challenge that I must manueever through here in the peninsula downtown area is the high cost as Charleston continue to expand it's tourist base and major employers moving or migrating to the South. With capitalism expanding and social programs retracting, it has put a lot of my basics neccesities out of reach for lower income individuals or families trying to support ourselves in this economy whereas capital gains is the new buzz. Then came "Soilders Angels" it is a God send!

I have volunteered in person and donated funds as well. This charity cares about our current and past soldiers. They do great things.

I have been with Soldiers Angels for about 3 years. I have adopted several soldiers and have been on the letter writing team. I feel so privileged & honored to have the opportunity to support our soldiers by sending care packages and writing letters. This is just a small part of what Soldiers Angels represents. They are a wonderful support for all branches of service and extends out to their families, as well. The support generated from everyone from the organization Soldiers Angels to those who adopt is incredible. Very proud to be a small part of this.

The spirit, passion and intent of the organization is marvelous. The broad, impactful array of benefits our heros receive from Soldiers Angels is remarkable. This is a non-profit that deserves five stars for sure!

For almost two years , every month I've used the food pantry. Without out this generous support I would not be able to feed our 4 teenagers and our toddler. After all the blood, sweat, and tears I and my family have gone through in my years of service, the Soldiers' Angels charity has restored more of my faith in the goodness of humanity. Thank you. An authentic veteran organization with bountiful gratitude from a combat retiree.

I have been and "Angel" for over 10 years. I donate on a monthly basis. I adopt 1 or 2 families every year for Christmas. The response I get from the families I adopt is heartwarming. I also participate in their occasional sock drive.

I don't have much reason to contact them, but in the past if I did, they are very responsive.

I find this organization one of the best soldier needs charity.

After being a Military wife I know how important it can be to those far from home to get reminders that they are not forgotten while they are gone. I have found writing letters and cards with Soldier's Angles gives me that chance to give back to these amazing people who give up so much for us every day. I have been very proud to be a part of a group that is doing such good work for our brave service men and women. The fact that they continue to look for ways to support our troops is a wonderful thing!

Soldiers Angel's truly ARE angel's. They helped my family so much when we needed food and just knowing how much they care for the families of veterans is wonderful. By far the best charity I've ever been involved with !!!

ABSc partnered with Soldiers' Angels for Treats for Troops and Adopt a Military Family for the holiday season. Our representatives were extremely helpful and courteous during both events.

ABSc was able to collect 1600 pounds of candy for our first ever treats for troops. We were also blessed to be able to help 3 military families during the holiday season.

I have been a member of soldiers angels for over 14 years. During this time I have had the honor of adopting hundreds of deployed military and have received many letters of thanks and appreciation. It really means a lot to our military that people in the United States support them and have not forgotten them.
Soldiers Angels has many programs and ways to support our deployed military. There is some way for everyone to help.
They are a great organization that has helped thousands of deployed through their programs and deserve an A+ rating!

Made me feel like I never left home while I was on my deployment. Keep up the good work

I started with Soldiers' Angels in April 2015 in the Letter Writing Group because I was interested in the cause, as well as practicing letter writing. Four years later, I'm now a volunteer group leader of a letter writing team and am so proud to say I'm part of this organization! It's good to see not only how the organization helps soldiers' morale, but also the enthusiasm of those to upkeep a soon-to-be lost art of heartfelt, handwritten letters.

As a female Air Force Vet, I am so happy that there is an organization like Soldiers' Angels that supports soldiers all over the world. I have adopted soldiers and families for years. I also donate each month and participate in drives. Thanks to them for all they do.

I have been supporting this great nonprofit for the last 10 years it could not be for a better cause. And the greatness they do for our soldiers is unmatched

I’ve been a volunteer with Soldiers’s Angels for over 4 years now. I love the fact that they not only support our deployed and their families but also our Veterans. Makes me proud to be a part of this worthy organization.

Totally awesome group to associate with. I enjoy being a part of this group of people that care so much for our troops and their families.

This organization is very organized and professionally ran

Soldiers Angels does a great job of connecting us to soldiers and veterans- a much needed service when the media mostly ignores them unless they find a negative story. We owe these folks everything for putting their lives and health on the line for us. Soldiers Angels shares news and events that acknowledge their contribution and offers creative ways for us to give back to them.

I first learned of Soldiers' Angels when I saw a post by my daughter-in-law on Facebook. Upon checking out the website, it made my heart glad when I saw how they help those in the military and all they do to lift their spirits. This is a very worthy and important nonprofit. Your donations will help those who deserve it - the people who watch over our world so we can sleep at night.

Soldiers angels is a wonderful organization. It is well organized and provides excellent support for it's volunteer!

Very easy to get started and help a deployed soldier with letters and care packages. You pick the soldier from a list with sex, state, branch, and a bio message. You send a monthly package and weekly letter directly to the soldier. It's easy to spend an hour per letter or package. No set size or requirements on the package but a large USPS box can cost about $100 to fill with goodies and $17 to mail. You have to file a quick report on every thing you do that includes time and money spent, which is annoying. It can be difficult to keep this up for six months or more if the soldier can't write back. Overall this system is a great way to directly and personally help a soldier in need and I think it means a lot to the soldier and their family. Definitely recommended!

I've been a member of Soldiers' Angels since 2010. In the past I've adopted deployed soldiers. No I write letters and send cards.
Soldiers' Angels is a great organization.

Soldiers Angel has reached out to me directly several times to offer help and assistance.
All of their staff is caring and helpful consistently.
It is a comfort to know they are there in so many ways if needed.

The best company! I love being a part of it and adopting soldiers. The best part is that you are really able to take ownership of your adoptee. You really get to feel like you actually matter in a nonprofit because you build the relationships with your adoptee.

Much needed support from people who have a knack for not making you feel needy during difficult times.

I am a letter writer with Soldiers' Angels and I can't explain the feeling of pride this gives to me. I so appreciate all the men and women that serve to protect our country and this give me a way to show it. I wish there were more that I can do...I did when I was married but now that I am divorced and on disability I don't have the money access that I used to have, so letter writing it the best that I can do. Somehow, I believe it helps them.

I was blessed by Soldiers Angels, when I volunteered to help distribute food to needy Veterans that they were assisting. The amount of food stuffs, the way Soldiers Angels personnel managed to arrange set u0 and distribution so that every Veteran who was in the serving line was equally shared and blessed. Soldiers Angels also assists Veterans in Treatment and Recovery programs offered by VA. They truly Are Angels to many hundreds of Veterans, and truly deserve all the recognition, contributions, and support that can be given.

I am a SGM in the US Army and this organization has helped so many people in the military, people that don't have family to send them care packages or letters. I would like to see, in the future, possibly adding missionaries to the list of folks who could receive packages. There isn't an organization out there that does this yet. Chris

I have volunteered for the Friday grocery distribution with this organization, and the magnitude of the people served through those events is really impressive. The coordinators think of every little detail to make the process go smoothly, and it is so touching to get to interact with the veterans served as well.

Great NGO. I love helping and corresponding with our service members.

Im a disabled Vet on a fixed income. And I run out of food quickly...Soldiers Angels has brought through some rough times.

I really appreciate them!!

It's really good for the vets that go there every month.

I am volunteering with Soldier's Angels with letter writing and baked goods packages. They are amazing. Well organized with a loving attitude in helping our soldiers. I feel blessed to have found them to help make a difference for those who keep our country safe. God bless all who work with this organization.

Amazing group! Provides many ways for individuals to support our military and their families and veterans!
Thankful to be able to honor these individuals in many ways!

Soldiers Angels is one of the best charity organizations in America....they have supported veterans and their families' nutritional needs for years...keep up the good work!

I have been an angel with this organization for a couple of years now. Although I am not from a military background, many of my friends have served or are still active. I love that this organization has many different types of opportunities to support our troops, from letter writing to care packages to support of local events. There are opportunities for everyone. The group leaders are very supportive and promote sharing of ideas and information amongst volunteers. I love this organization.

I have volunteered as an Angel for several years and my company has participated in Treats for Troops. This is a great organization that helps reach our soldiers and sailors who are away from their families. It is very personal. As an angel, you touch the lives of the heroes you are sponsoring. For many, the letters they receive from their angel are the only mail they get. And packages are like gold when you are deployed. Nothing is more rewarding than getting a letter or an email from your hero telling you what a difference you made in their lives.

Soldiers' Angels helped my husband and I so immensely, words could never be enough. I was deployed to Afghanistan where we lived next to the burn pits for months at a time. Upon my return I noticed a weird brown spot growing on the bottom of my foot, which later turned into melanoma. They had to remove a large piece of the bottom of heel and did a skin graft from my armpit to cover the area. I work part time at the local hospital and was unable to work for three months and we almost got evicted. Money was so tight, and because of Soldiers' Angels we did not go hungry. Thank you Soldiers' Angels for all that you do!

They are efficient and helpful.Their eagerness to help and aid troops is highly admirable.

I have written letters to military off and on since the Vietnam War. Soldiers Angels make it easy to make a difference. You can choose from many projects to participate including sending packages, collecting socks, family support, and card or letter writing. This is a good organization! Check it out to volunteer. It is easy to do from your home in whatever time you choose to give.

I have been an angel with Soldiers' Angels for just about 12 years now. They help active duty service members, veterans, and even the spouses and families through their many teams. What we do as angels really makes a difference to them. I have had soldiers email me years later telling me that they still have my letters and photos. As one retired special ops soldier once told me "Your card, letter, or package may make the difference between a good day and a really bad day".

This is a wonderful organization. Great team leaders and opportunities to give back to our soldiers and their families.

As an active Soldiers Angel, I know first hand the amazing ways this organization touches the lives of our service members. Without them the connection that our deployed military hero’s need to back home would not exist. As my most recent deployed Soldier told me, she “couldn’t have done it without me and Soldiers Angels”.

I have been with them since 2006 and love the work we do.

Theyre fantastic..... I wanted to help support the US Military from my home in the UK as I support soldiers here and they have made this possible.... Amazing!... Definitely would recommend to others.

The telling sign of any "non-profit" or "charitable" organization is their commitment to actually put their funds in the hands of those they have dedicated to support. Soldier's Angels shows the same dedication to solders, sailors, Marines and Air Force that they in turn show to this country. Not only is an amazing amount of funding directly contributed, but they focus on specific needs and activities that are designed to provide the greatest impact - just like a military operation. I'm proud of their hard work and dedication!

Being associated with Soldiers' Angels has truly been an honor and quite a pleasure. It is definitely an organization of integrity and among the highest when it comes to the percentage of funds that flow directly to help veterans and their family. A very top organization that truly cares.

I joined Soldier's Angels on two counts I am a veteran and want to be able to continue to support those who protect us each day. The community is very diverse and extremely support of troops and the group that supports them. Always reaching out, continuing to ask what else can we do. Nice to be asked how you can improve something that is such a great Nonprofit focused on helping our Veterans.

Soldiers Angels does so much for so many of our active duty and retried service men and women across the nation. From simple things like hand written letters to our troops to helping the VA expand it's reach. They truly have the best interest of those they support in mind. What a great organization!

As an Advisory Council Member and an Army Veteran I feel honored to be part of this elite organization. I have supported Veterans' organizations in the past and I feel Soldiers' Angels is by far the best in getting the job done, and in supporting 100% our veteran's. The level of commitment from volunteers, board members and military members and families they serve is unparalleled is amazing! It's hard to find a not-for-profit organization in any sector where 98% of the funds raised go directly to support the programs supporting military members and veterans.

Soldiers' Angels is truly an amazing organization and feel pride and honor to be part of it.

As an Air Force and Navy Veteran I've supported many Veterans' organizations in the past and I feel honored to be involved with Soldiers' Angels. The level of commitment from volunteers, board members and military members and families they serve is unparalleled! It's hard to find a not-for-profit organization in any sector where 96% of the funds raised go directly to support the programs supporting military members and veterans.

On my last deployment a few years back, I was in command and wanted build up morale within my unit. I reached out to a number of organizations, and Soldiers' Angels responded with a care package for every person in my battery. Fast forward a few months, and we were in December. Another great program of SA, is their stockings to deployed service members during the holidays. I asked for enough stockings to give all junior Soldiers in my formation one each. My 1SG and I handed them out on Christmas Eve, creating a definite increase in morale; all thanks to the generous Soldiers' Angels team! A few years later, I learned that SA was looking to form an Advisory Council! PERFECT! My opportunity to give back! Working with SA has been a highly rewarding and enjoyable time with the amazing team! I had no idea the breadth and scope that SA takes upon their shoulders in care for our countries military until I joined the team. From deployed military, veterans, wounded heroes, and in my mind the often forgotten FAMILIES of all of these military members, SA serves them all; and at a 98% efficiency rating - unprecedented! Additionally, not only does SA have the traditional care packages like many others, but SA leaders are consistently looking to find new and innovative ways to give back. From "Hops for Heroes" to box lunches for vets in VA hospitals or homeless to baby showers for expectant mothers of deployed service members; SA DOES IT ALL!

I was Medevac in Iraq and the amazing medical team was working on me, the team had to cut off my uniform to do their job. At the end of the ordeal, I was sent to the recovery room and which was freezing cold, I was given a Soldiers Angels sweatshirt and from that day, my heart will always be there for this organization, that truly supports the Soldiers need.

As a prior Medical Center Director for one of the nations largest VA health systems and a veteran, I've had the privilege to see, interact and be apart of so many organizations focused on assisting veterans and their families. Soldier's Angles brings a unique value based on their passion for veterans and their families. They are an organization that started with one big loving heart and an enthusiasm to let those that had their boots in the sand know they were being thought of and cared about. Soldiers' Angels has a diversified program that encompasses serving and helping those that serve and have served. It's impressive to see the want and desire of the Soldier's and Angels staff, management team, board members and the many volunteers providing their time to support our military and veteran communities.

Being a Board member is a rewarding, exciting experience of service. The dedication, commitment, and plain hard work of the Soldiers' Angels management, staff, and volunteer teams have provided thousands of deployed military personnel, veterans and their families worldwide with much needed help and hope for 15 years. The greatest outpouring of love that I have experienced was through participation in the 15th anniversary event in San Antonio. Volunteers from all walks of life, and all ages joined together to assemble 15,000 care packages in one day. And as Charity Navigator shows, donations are used primarily for programs, with little for administration. It is an honor and privilege to be a Board member.
