Holiday Community Partners work with us to provide support to military families, wounded heroes, deployed service members and veterans during the holiday season.
Holiday Community Partners work with us to provide support to military families, wounded heroes, deployed service members and veterans during the holiday season.
We currently have 6,000 7,000 deployed service members that will each be receiving a stocking for the holidays. It costs approximately $20 to ship one stocking in a USPS large flat rate box. Any amount you can give will help us ensure our deployed service members remember that America has not forgotten their service and sacrifice this holiday season.
Hurry! In order for these stockings to reach deployed service members in the Middle East, they have to be shipped by December 9th! And in order for the stockings to reach veteran patients in VA Hospitals across the country, they have to be shipped by December 21st!

The Holiday Community Partner Program is now closed for the 2019 Holiday Season. We have exceeded our goal and we look forward to collecting even more stockings next year! For businesses with large numbers, exceptions can be made. Email hcp@soldiersangels.org with questions.
Community Partners team with Soldiers’ Angels to provide support to military families, wounded heroes, deployed service members and veterans. They can be individuals, families, civic groups, businesses, churches, schools, scouts, sororities, or youth groups who have a desire to serve military families.
Holiday Community Partners work specifically during the holiday season to provide cards, letters, and stuffed stockings for our troops and veterans.
Watch the video below to hear from Soldiers' Angels President and CEO, Amy Palmer, about the importance of our holiday stocking program:
Soldiers' Angels has created collection campaigns throughout the year as an opportunity for individuals, businesses, and organizations to come together and give back to our troops and veterans. These collection campaigns are meant to be held in a way that general members of the public (ie, your friends, family, classmates, co-workers, etc.) can donate to the campaign. If you are hosting a collection, please do not solicit cash or in-kind donations from retailers, manufacturers, large corporations, or any other business entity. Due to the nature of those requests and the paperwork involved, solicitation of donations must come directly from Soldiers' Angels. In most cases, we already have a relationship established with many of the major businesses. If you happen to have a connection at a retailer, manufacturer, large corporation, or other business entity that you think would be willing to donate cash or in-kind items to Soldiers' Angels, please reach out to us and we would be happy to contact them.

Besides a card and/or letter in each stocking, stockings should also include any combination of the following:

Packaging:
Please ensure you carefully pack the stockings with newspaper, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap to ensure minimal damage to stockings during shipping. Please do not ship in extra-large boxes and keep box weight to less than 40 pounds.
Please remember to enclose either a small card or handwritten note inside the stocking to let the service member or veteran know you’re thinking of them.
