Boxes to Boots is proud to announce “Operations Cares 2024 - Giving Thanks to Our Troops”. As in past years our objective is to deliver, in November, “Care Packages” to military personnel serving overseas. This year our goal is to delivers over 1200 “Care Packages” to military personnel overseas. If you have a friend our loved one overseas that you would like up to consider sending packages to his/her unit please visit our Nominate a Soldier page and leave us a message.

Boxes to Boots relies on community involvement to meet our goal. Community response in the past has been amazing and we look forward to your support in 2024. This year, on November 16, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. See below for the link to reserve your table. Please come and join this year, as a community, to prepare “Care Packages” getting them ready for transport to the Post Office and ultimately to our Troops overseas.
