Help us

We have shipped over 3000 
care packages!!

Troops' Addresses: We are always looking for addresses of active military to receive our care packages.  Email us at info@bluestarmomsofmarin.org.

Donate Items:
 Donate needed nutrious snacks and/or toiletry items for our care packages. Click here for a list of suggested items.  We also collect small travel-sized toiletry items (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, tissues, liquid soap, etc.) for our VA toiletry kits.  The type of items provided in hotel rooms is perfect.

Send a Note from Home: Write a note, a card, or a short letter with words of encouragement and appreciation.  These letters are the number one morale boosters for our troops, and will be included in our care packages.
