Care Package Logistics & Welfare Deliveries

Care packages and welfare deliveries are an important element of morale for deployed personnel. Maridian provides end-to-end care-package management for client organisations: secure collection, customs and movement coordination, theatre reception and distribution while ensuring compliance with host-nation regulations and operational safety.

Military care packages deliver a welcome piece of home to your service member while they’re away – whether that’s your child, fiancé, sibling or friend. They help both of you stay connected despite distance or duty.

Here at the US Armygo, we provide some appropriate ways to send those care packages to your service member throughout their time in the military.

After boot camp is the time to send military care packages.

Service members who have finished basic training or are on deployment generally have more freedom to receive care packages. Sending a military care package is a great way to show your appreciation and love for your service member and all they do for our country.

If you are a parent or other relative, consider sending the music, toiletries, foods and treats your service member likes best. If you are in a relationship with a service member, think about sending notes, cards and small items that remind them how much you care. And, of course, photos from home are always welcome.

Here are some military care package ideas that are appreciated by service members:

Necessities, such as sunblock, socks, underwear, flip-flops, lip balm and powder
Snacks, including chips, salsa, nuts, cookies, beef jerky, non-melting candy and trail mix in packaging that isn’t easily crushed. Drink mixes in single-serving packets are also a good addition.
Homemade foods: The most popular items are cookies and “cake in a jar,” which is a cake baked in a canning jar. Again, the key is sturdy packaging to prevent crushing.
Games, such as playing cards/poker chips, crosswords or puzzle books.
Stationery is a must if you want to receive any letters from your service member. Send paper, envelopes, address labels and pens, but skip the stamps. They won’t need them.
Photos and notes that show your support and affection. Maybe get a daily tear-off calendar and write an encouraging note on each pa
