My Nonprofit Reviews

I love Friends of the Troops. It is a great group of volunteers, and Jessica, the head of this nonprofit is amazing! She is on top of everything! She sends reminders, shares any thank you notes she receives, and responds to any questions or problems you may have within a few hours.
Supporting our troops and veterans is very important to me, as I grew up in a military family. I know first hand how important "mail call" can be, especially to those troops that are deployed. And to receive mail from folks they don't even know is a real morale booster! And thanking veterans for their service - who doesn't like to be thanked once in awhile?!

I have been a member of Soldiers Angels.org since Memorial Day, 2007. I had seen something on our local news channel about Soldiers Angels a few weeks before. Went to Ft. Logan, our Natl. Cemetery, over Memorial Day, and after visiting my folks(my mom was a Wave during WW!! & my dad was army until he was medically discharged) and my husbands parents (dad was in the Navy in WW!!) decided it was time to "do more" for our military troops and their families. I started by "Adopting" a soldier, then a year later also joined the Crochet Team (now part of the Sewing Team) since I enjoy crocheting and how many hats and scarves does one really need!? LOL Then found the OTK Team - they do virtual baby showers for military families.That allowed me an outlet for the blankets and dolls I enjoy sewing. A few years later I "adopted" a family for the holidays. And, just this past spring I discovered the Cards Plus Team, the Chaplains Support Team and the Angel Bakers. I enjoy baking and can now bake to my heart's content and then send it away. This organization has gone thru many changes over the years, but the core belief of "may no soldier go unloved" has never changed. I am proud and humbled to be a member of Soldiers Angels. a proud.angel
