OPERATION INTERDEPENDENCE  

A Civilian-to-Military Delivery System

The most we can do.     The best they can be.     www.oidelivers.org

It was given that name because we depend on our military . . . . .  and they depend on us.

    Whether you agree or disagree with the decisions where our military is sent-they do not make those decisions and deserve our respect and support. 

    The Plan Is Simple.  To provide each deployed platoon a box with enough treats & notes of encouragement from home, for each member of that platoon, for each month during their tour of duty.  There are usually 50 men and/or women in a platoon and they deployed for approx.6 months. The boxes are not mailed until after the unit is in place. (they receive 5 packages)

    What can you do to help?  Write letters of support-sponsor 1 person or a platoon-make a donation of cash of items.  Ask a business to sponsor or donate items.

CONTENTS:            50 quart sized baggies, (about 8ozs. each)  Its not the quality nor quantity of items in each bag, as much as it is the idea that we all care.   We have found that the most important content in each baggie is the note!   Young people under the age of 18 are required to use the return address of an adult.  Small children can draw pictures.   NO ENVELOPES        

ALL FOODS & PERSONAL ITEMS MUST BE SEALED IN MANUFACTURED WRAPPERS FOR THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF OUR TROOPS- Suggested items in travel sizes
