Any Soldier® is a nonprofit organization that provides a platform for others to show their support to service members overseas, especially for those who don’t normally receive anything. Although the organization was first started as a simple family effort in 2003 to support soldiers in one particular army unit, the organization garnered so much esteem that it received many requests to expand and will now aid any service member. Service members serve as points of contact representing a particular unit and provide information about their unit’s needs and wants. Those desiring to support Any Soldier’s® efforts can view the secure database and select who they want to support and how by choosing to send military boxes/care packages, letters, or through donating directly to the organization.
