We are the only organization in Utah that sends packages to entire Utah units. Last year we shipped 1,543 packages to 6 different Utah military deployed units.

This year we hope that Payson can sponsor and raise the shipping costs for 339 Care Packages collected and made by their community to sponsor one Utah Army Reserve Brigade of 339 soldiers serving in Iraq for the 2nd year away from their families for 12 months.
