Standing Ready: How You Can Support Deployed Service Members Right Now
March 20, 2026
As global events continue to evolve, many Americans are watching developments overseas with concern. During times like these, the mission of Soldiers’ Angels becomes even more important.
For more than two decades, Soldiers’ Angels has remained committed to one simple mission: ensuring deployed Service Members know they are supported by those back home.
Right now, due to ongoing circumstances in the Middle East, many zip codes are temporarily suspended for shipping, which means care packages cannot currently be sent to certain deployed troops in those areas.
But that does not mean there is nothing we can do.
In fact, this is the moment to prepare.
While shipping restrictions remain in place, Soldiers’ Angels is working behind the scenes to ensure that when those restrictions lift, we can immediately begin sending care packages and support to deployed Service Members.
Here are three ways you can help us stand ready.
Donate to Help Us Prepare
Care packages do not ship themselves. Every box sent to a deployed Service Member requires supplies and logistics to make it happen.
Your donation helps us prepare by funding:
- Shipping and postage
- Care package supplies
- Packing materials like boxes and tape
- Logistics needed to send thousands of packages
By donating now, you help ensure that the moment shipping restrictions lift, we can immediately begin sending support to deployed troops who need it most.
Your support today helps us move quickly tomorrow.
Donate today and help us prepare for the moment our troops need us most.
Volunteer with Soldiers’ Angels
Volunteers are the heart of Soldiers’ Angels.
Across the country, dedicated supporters help pack care packages, write letters of encouragement, and assist with programs that support deployed Service Members, Veterans, and military families.
Even while some shipping locations are paused, there are many opportunities to volunteer right now, including supporting deployed Service Members stationed in areas that are still receiving mail.
Whether you are an individual looking to give back or a group looking to serve together, volunteering is a powerful way to make a difference.
Become a Soldiers’ Angels volunteer and help support our troops.
Purchase Care Package Supplies
Another great way to help is by purchasing care package supplies through the Soldiers’ Angels wish lists.
These items help us stock the supplies needed to build thousands of care packages once shipping restrictions lift.
Common care package supplies include:
- Snacks and comfort items
- Hygiene supplies
- Coffee and drink mixes
- Socks and personal essentials
By helping us build up supplies now, you help ensure that care packages can be assembled and shipped as soon as support is needed.

We are apolitical and mission-driven, focused solely on supporting the men and women who serve our country.

Even during uncertain times, that mission never changes.
