Our Projects
Below is a list of our activities and projects that are funded through donations.

::: The Care Package Project™
We ship 700-1000 care packages every 10 weeks to Marines stationed in combat zones. Marines overseas send us names and addresses of comrades who aren't receiving mail or packages from home. Organizations, individuals, and communities are encouraged to support our troops by sponsoring care packages and donating shipping funds. As per Department of Defense policy, addresses are not given to the public.

::: Purple Heart Family Support™
Our mission is to provide support to the families waiting at the bedside of their injured or ill Marines and Sailors by providing lunches and fellowship during the weekends at hospitals around the United States and to encourage support of our wounded military personnel in communities throughout the United States. Our current focus is Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland and we hope to provide additional support at additional locations as funding through donations allows.

::: Operation PAL™
Our injured Marines need your support through Prayers and Letters. We invite you to participate in this project as an individual or as an organization to send much needed prayers, letters and cards to the Marines who have been injured or become ill while serving in combat zones, as well as Marines that have recently served, and then been injured or become ill.

::: General Operating Fund
Donations to the General Operating Fund are used to finance the web sites and bandwidth used for disseminating information, educating families about the Marine Corps, and the message board communities that keep the families in touch with one another during bootcamp and deployments.

By "sponsoring a care package" your gift recipient's name will go into a care package sent to a Marine overseas on January 5, 2007. The Marine may choose to write back to your gift recipient.

MarineParents.com will send your gift recipient a card telling them about your contribution to sponsor a care package for a Marine in his/her name. The cards will be sent out December 14 to arrive just before Christmas. Cards for gift sponsorships purchased after December 14 will be sent the day of the transaction. You can purchase gift sponsorships for the January 5, 2008 packing date through January 4, 2008.
