My Nonprofit Reviews

Our VFW Auxiliary Adopted A Platoon. We are a small Auxiliary in Oregon with mostly elderly members. We wanted to help in our small way, service members serving overseas. We gathered our suggested materials to send, often using multiple boxes. We did this for 10 months with no response from the platoon, although I listed my email address requesting them to send us a list of items they would like. Never received a response. Finally, not knowing if they were still in Afghanistan, I checked the "return if undeliverable" square on the declaration papers. We got our 2 boxes back we sent in June, 2016 and am expecting the next one we sent to come home too. Would it have been too much trouble to let us know that they no longer wanted to receive boxes from home? I say this because the cost for our Auxiliary to send these boxes is considerable, not to mention the cost of all the items inside the boxes. This was not a good experience for us, and I doubt we will do this again.
