I saw a segment about this site on television and looked it up. Operation You Go Girl is especially geared to women, because they can do things to help women of the area in ways our service men can't, because of the social structure with its limits on contacts between men and women. Some of the items mentioned are personal toiletries, ground coffee [the real deal, not decaf], etc. Check the site at the end of the blog.
Any gifts meant for Christmas need to be mailed by December 5th, but there are ongoing needs. You can find out more specific information about it by checking out the web site.
Getting a package for Christmas would be a Nice Thing, but if you can't get the above done in time for Christmas, or even if you do, the items mentioned are things always needed, so you could still send them.
The Do One Nice Thing site gives detailed directions on what, how, and to whom items to the armed forces should be sent.
Other items needed:
School supplies for Iraqi and Afghan children
Food for Kentucky children
Sweaters and sweathirts for Detroit families
Knitters: You can help
