Give2thetroops is a non-profit organization established to send care packages to American troops deployed in combat zones. Some troops don't receive any mail or packages except for the ones they receive from Give2thetroops. It is so important to their morale for them to know they are not forgotten when sent overseas.
Visit the Give2thetroops website to learn what types of items can be donated and what troops have requested. Donation sites in Redmond are Fire Station 11, 8450 161st Avenue NE and Redmond Police Station, 8701 160th Avenue NE. These locations accept donations Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. Money can also be donated on the website to assist with postage costs.
