Move America Forward: Supporting Our Troops with Care Packages
Move America Forward is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charity that is dedicated to supporting our troops by sending them care packages filled with love and support. The organization was founded in 2004 by Melanie Morgan, a radio talk show host, and Howard Kaloogian, a former California State Assemblyman. Since then, Move America Forward has sent over 500 tons of care packages to troops serving overseas.
The mission of Move America Forward is simple: to let our troops know that they are not forgotten and that we appreciate their service and sacrifice. The organization believes that every soldier deserves to receive a care package filled with items that will make their deployment more comfortable and remind them of home.
Care Package Donation
One way you can support the mission of Move America Forward is by making a donation towards the purchase of care packages. Each package costs $50 and contains items such as beef jerky, trail mix, cookies, coffee, tea bags, hot chocolate mix, toiletries like toothpaste and deodorant as well as letters from supporters back home.
When you donate towards the purchase of a care package through Move America Forward's website or over the phone at (916) 441-6197), you have the option to include your own personal message for the recipient(s). This allows you to express your gratitude for their service directly while also providing them with some much-needed comfort during their deployment.
