You Don’t Have to Have Time to Give Back

Not everyone has the time to run a collection drive, volunteer at an event, or write letters and cards. For those who want to give back in some way and are short on time, contributions are just as good.

Here at Soldiers’ Angels we believe in the power of volunteering and the impact it has on people. All of our programs are based on the simple premise that little things can have a huge impact. A letter, a pair of socks, a visit to the hospital… These seemingly small acts of kindness create little ripples that continue to build and grow. But not everyone has the time to run a collection drive, volunteer at an event, or write letters and cards. For those who want to give back in some way and are short on time, contributions are just as good. 

Why donate?

Our volunteers (aka “Angels”) are the heart of our organization, but donations are the lifeblood. Monetary donations keep our programs running, they help us pay for supplies, send care packages, cover costly shipping overseas, and maintain a sustainable organization that supports Service Members, Veterans, and military families. In our 17 years, we’ve provided food assistance to tens of thousands of Veteran families, given more than $173.6 million in aid, sent 1,877,309 letters and over 907.935 care packages to our deployed soldiers, and we have provided direct support to our military members in over 33 Veteran Administration’s hospitals in the U.S. That’s a lot of activity! We couldn’t do it without the generosity of our donors.
