About Tillman Troops
Tillman Troops, founded in 2007, is a non-profit corporation which is organized and operating as a tax exempt 501(c)(3), qualified to accept tax deductible contributions as of 6/02/08. Tillman Troops is comprised of individuals and organizations volunteering and donating goods, services for charitable purposes to provide support, aid, comfort and assistance to members of our armed forces, operational employees and agents of other U.S. government departments and their families.
About the Founder
Loree Tillman started her donation drives and organization in 2007 when her husband, a US Navy Reservist, was mobilized for service in Afghanistan. Realizing that there are other service members with fewer resources and can't give the ongoing care package support, her dining room became a "command central" supporting hundreds of other service members and some from the Houston area. Tillman Troops currently supports over 200 service members and is currently expanding their services to include "Books for the Brave," a project designed to procure and distribute best selling books for our troops that are convalescing at Veterans' Administration and other hospital facilities in the Houston area.
