While the process is lengthy and sometimes difficult, nothing compares to the joy we feel knowing we are making a difference for the members of the armed forces serving abroad.
You can help make a difference for someone who can’t come home for Christmas because they are protecting our freedoms. We are seeking assistance to purchase the contents and pay for the postage to send the boxes overseas.
We've created an Amazon shopping list for those interested in contributing. Purchase items off our list and use your Prime account to have them shipped to us for free!

We send care packages each November and on an as needed basis throughout the year. If you have military members you would like a box sent to, please email us with names and addresses at bluestarmothersia1@gmail.com
