I just happen to notice, when I was looking to see how many cans of soup that have been donated so far, on the left-hand side of that page, it list Corporate Sponsors. And above that list it says "matching gift contributors". Does this mean that for every can of soup I donate, they will match it? That every Care Package I provide, they will match it? Just wondering.

I live in waco Texas and my oldest son is finishing up hisdeployment in Afghanistan and the youngest is graduating bootcamp in a few weeks. Is there anyone in my area who is doing this? If not, how do I get one started?

Hello :) my husband signed up for the Jan 21st CPP but did not get an email confirmation after we submitted our names. Is there a way to verify if we are in deed on the list? We are looking forward to it but will be driving about an hour and a half to get there, just want to be certain we are on the list :) thanks for any help of this!

I have a question on shipping over seas. My son is in Okinawa and I've sent a package every month to him. I've gotten several different 'requirement' speeches from postal workers every time I drop boxes off. Some say the customs form needs each and every item line filled out with something different and a total weight and cost, others have told me I can combine different items on each line. I've done it both ways and have never had a problem with customs either way. BUT, I'm heading up a care package program with my church for my son in OKI and another young man from our congregation who is in A'stan. My questions are: do I need to put each individual item on each line, thereby having to fill out several customs forms for each box? Also, what about homemade items that don't have a 'cost' per se', and also what about things in big boxes that we open up and divide out between the two and don't have an individual price per item. Am I supposed to guess at prices on everything including homemade stuff or do they want/need a price for homemade stuff. I'm already going to have to guess a lot of prices anyway considering 99 percent of the stuff is donated by someone else and I have no idea how much they spent. HELP!
Thanks,
Bonita

Had a great time at packing, too.  Really enjoyed the speaker at the banquet-almost done reading Gunny's book!

I just wanted to say thank you to Tracy and the staff of Marine Parents for coordinating another successful CPP.  The dinner with Gunny Pop was wonderful.  I hope I can come down again in January.

I attended my first packing day and had an absolute BLAST!  I will be returning to pack boxes in the future!

He is automatically on the next mailing(s) until his deployment is over.  We keep track of the unit deployments' start and end dates.  Great question!  Thanks for checking.
