“Often commanding officers in the field will contact us to let us know that they have a young man or woman who is not receiving any boxes or letters from home.” –Blue Star Moms
Every 4th of July, we celebrate our independence with parades and barbecues, but here’s how we can support those who continue to secure this liberty for us. Blue Star Moms is a direct and immediate way to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice.

Why Our Troops Need Your Donations
Most people don’t realize that when troops are not at a large base, their supply chain is nonexistent. Blue Star Moms tries to send items they cannot get otherwise, and they depend on donations.
Shipping Out Monthly
Blue Star Moms ships out care packages every month. They accept donations all year around.
“Only 1 percent of our population today will ever wear the uniform of this nation in any of its incarnations – soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, active, Guard or Reserve.”
–Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva
Please take a moment today to think about the men and women who are willing to take the great risks to protect our lives and freedom. Supporting Blue Star Moms is one way to do our part. 🙏
