Soldiers’ Angels commitment to ensure “no soldier goes unloved” extends to every Service Member, including those deployed in remote and challenging locations. One of the most effective ways we can get supplies to Service Members in these locations is through supporting Chaplains. Chaplains often travel to multiple locations and interact with large numbers of Service Members, offering a unique position to deliver much-needed supplies and morale-boosting items.  

Through Soldiers’ Angels, Chaplains can request a variety of resources to help them in their mission to support the units they serve. Whether it’s essential care packages, heartfelt letters of encouragement, baked goods, or recreational items, Soldiers’ Angels volunteers thoughtfully prepare and ship the items they need. By equipping Chaplains with the tools they need, we extend our reach to those who might otherwise go without. Ensuring that every hero feels valued, remembered, and supported. Here’s what one Chaplain had to say about the impact of Soldiers’ Angels.  

The Letter

“Good day to Everyone at Soldiers’ Angels, 

My name is Chaplain N., and my partner and I want to express our sincere thanks for all your support. During the last several months, the Angels and Donors have been an amazing source of blessing and encouragement for our troops. We have received a couple of hundred Christmas stockings, many care packages filled with hygiene items and snacks, coffee, and inspiring notes/letters.

The holidays, for many of us, did not feel quite the same for several reasons (i.e., being away from families/home, not being able to practice normal traditions, and work tempo remaining the same); however, your support allowed us to bring a ray of hope and cheer in a faraway land.

I cannot begin to express how thankful we are for how much care, time, and energy all of you put into thinking of us. We received many expressions of surprise and gratitude when we delivered these gifts. Also, we have been able to keep a couple of snack and coffee tables stocked because of you all. For context, my partner and I are serving several hundred joint members in our immediate area and an additional several hundred personnel who are spread throughout our area of responsibility. 

One moment that stuck out to me – during the delivery of some stockings to a different location on Christmas day, we came across a Sailor, whom I had met the night before, and I offered him a stocking. He was taken aback and said, “This is the only thing I received for Christmas.” It meant so much to him that, later that day, I had a mutual friend mention that he told her about receiving the stocking. 

I am overwhelmed by everyone’s genuine care, concern, and love for our military members serving around the world. Thank you! Please share our sincere gratitude to each of the Angels and Donors who gave of their time, treasure, and talents. It made a difference in the lives of our Service Members. “

Thank you, Chaplain N., for sharing this powerful impact with us! We’re also incredibly grateful to our supporters and donors for making this possible—especially during the holiday season when our deployed Service Members need it most. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
