Soldier’s Angels

The purpose of this organization is to provide a place where anyone can send letters to active duty or veteran members of the forces. They give locations where you can drop of your letters and they mail them out or you can mail them to their head location and then they mail them out to troops. This organization gives the members of the military support and encouragement for all they do and all they have sacrificed. They not only deliver letters but also hold donations, so they are able to send care packages and essential needs to the ones currently serving.
Not only can any community give recognition for these hard-working solders, but they also can helo them once they have come back from overseas jobs. There is a program called ‘Fund A Scholar’ where the program helps members of the military complete their degree or find a future once they are either retiring out or simply wanting a degree for progress forward in their lives.
