Donations of Food Items:

Troops has specifically requested, and thanked us profusely, for the food in the care packages. MREs (Meals Ready To Eat) have improved somewhat over the years, but they still make for a dull diet!  One of the highlights of the week can be getting together with food from home and creating a meal out of the different packages. Operation Vermont Cares is looking for Corporate Donors to help with creating our own Vermont version of the Ready to Prepare Dinner to Share: see the Corporate Donor page or Contact us and we'll help you help the troops!

Snack food items should be individually sized and MUST be factory sealed for us to accept the donation.  Corporate Donors should contact us regarding packaging and labeling specifications. Please contact us for drop-off and shipping locations.

Cash Contributions can be made through Amazon.com or by mailing a check to: Operation Vermont Cares, P.O. Box 1301, Waitsfield, VT 05673; tax id furnished upon request.
