Sendcare.com Care Packages Help Bring a Touch of Home to Deployed Troops

Seattle, WA, August 23, 2006 --(PR.com)-- For anyone with a family member or friend serving overseas in the United States military, keeping in touch can be a cumbersome prospect. With recent developments indicating that deployed soldiers can expect extended tours of duty in Iraq and other locations, a basic need can be found in providing emotional support from home.

For almost seven years, military families and their loved ones have been receiving a major source of help in boosting the morale of deployed troops. With a few simple clicks of the mouse at www.sendcare.com, spouses, parents, friends, and anyone else can create a custom military care package online and have it shipped just about anywhere. From practical items such as deodorant and first aid kits, to fun items such as favorite snacks and plush gifts, all of the right components are laid out onscreen.

Traditionally, care packages have been used by friends and family members to send a touch of home to soldiers during lengthy deployments. With the advent of the Internet, doing so is easier than ever. As a recent SendCare.com customer put it, “My husband absolutely loved the packages I sent before. Thanks for making this so simple for the both of us.”

Unlike email, care packages provide troops with a tangible source of stress relief, with a customizable, eclectic mix of comfort foods, silly items and personal words of encouragement. For those who want to send a care package to troops but don’t know anyone currently serving, SendCare.com has a program in place to facilitate individual donations as well.

As a family owned business, SendCare.com emphasizes the importance of support and communication in the midst of the current world climate. According to owner Alayna Setter, “If current events have taught us anything, it is the importance of the family as a basic structure and the need for togetherness. Our care packages provide one simple method of helping families through a potentially rough spot with relative ease.”

In addition to military care packages, SendCare.com provides college care packages, custom care packages, and shipping to over 30 countries. Priority shipping to United States addresses and military APO and FPO addresses is free.
