Support Our Troops – How to Gather Their Favorite Foods

After all, they are in harm’s way as they represent and defend freedom.

Imagine being thousands of miles away from loved ones, in a foreign country with no familiar surroundings. What would be on your list of “boy I sure miss” foods for a care package from home?

Below is a list our troops need and/or request the most. Sending troops a care package lifts morale and lets them know of our support for our troops.

How do you gather these items?

A fun way is for communities, schools, church groups, etc., to organize a Neighborhood or City Wide Scavenger Hunt or a Support Our Troops Specialty Food Drive.
List the food items below and assign points values to the ones most difficult to obtain, or most wanted.
Turn your teams loose, with prizes awarded at the end.
Get local businesses to host different teams as a means of showing Their Support.
Accept donations for shipping costs.
Or send food care packages to our troops as a family or small group of friends — just use this list as a guide.
Bold font indicates Troops Most Needed and Requested Food Items:

Fruit Roll-Ups
Beef Jerky / Slim Jims
Hard Pretzels
Wrapped gum and hard candy
Granola bars and Power bars
Small packs of Fig Newtons, Oreos, Cheese-Its
Trail mix, dried fruit
Ramen Noodles / Cup-o-Soup (just add water)
Salted peanuts or mixed nuts
Tea bags, Hot Chocolate packets
Salted Pumpkin seeds / Sunflower seeds
Ready-to-eat Pudding, Jello, fruit cups
Girls Scout cookies (chocolate will melt in the summer!)
No Chocolate (April-Sept) – it will melt!
Gatorade / Kool-Aid / Crystal Light (Instant drink mixes)
Cheese and Cracker packs
Chex Mix
Condiments and spices
Instant oatmeal
Tuna in pouches
Salad dressing (plastic bottles only)
