How It Makes A Difference
Most service members enjoy hearing their name called during mail call, to learn that a card, letter or package from home has been mailed out for them. A great way to express this impact - a quote from a recipient: "I have been receiving the most wonderful packages for over a month now from Soldiers' Angels and I just wanna say that it truly is a blessing to open the cards and the letters and all of the boxes. I love the letters. They make me so happy. I even got birthday cards for my 19th b-day in the mail! It almost brought me to tears." Your packages may be the much-needed bright spot in a soldier's day!

Instructions
1. Register here as a Team Angel or feel free to contact our Director of Volunteer Services, Susie Turner, at sturner@soldiersangels.org or by phone (210) 245-9885 to get started. If a minor, a parent or guardian will need to do so. (Registration is done through the red volunteer button on the website.) 2. During the registration process, parent/guardian is asked to set up a recurring donation of at least $1 a month. (This is used to defray the cost of our system used to track volunteers and their activities.) 3. After the registration is approved, log-in and request to receive the name and address of a deployed service member. 4. Once you obtain a name and address, fill your care package with goodies and supplies for a woman's unique health and hygiene needs. 5. Prepare the package with the name and address, as provided. 6. Mail the package. 7. Report your great work! There is a place to report, listed with name and address information. (You are asked to report the number of packages, the amount of time given to package fulfillment and the cost.) 8. If interested in bringing a smile to another female soldier, pick up another person/name to write and send care packages to!
