We offer four ways for you to help our deployed Soldiers with supplies.


1.  Of course the easiest way to facilitate a Care Package shipment is to make your secure, online donation here through PayPal.

If you choose this option, your contribution will either furnish postage for the packages or buy supplies that have been chosen and customized for each deployed unit. We would purchase the requested goods for you, package them, and ship them.


This is the simplest option for you.



2.      If you want to order predesignated products just for our Soldiers, go to  smile.amazon.com and sign in.  There is a Soldiers Care Package Outreach Charity List with many items to choose from.  Amazon will ship them to us.




​​3.  However, if you want hands-on for your Care Package, there is a list below of suggested items.  You can use this list to buy products that (1) you can mail to us for processing, or that (2) you can mail directly to a Soldier who you may already know, or (3) (the most popular) bring your donations to our office at the First Baptist Church of Hingham if you are near or in Hingham, MA, and deposit 24/7/365 inside our brown Donation Trunk in the parking lot to the right side of the church.













4.  If you are not inclined to shop for specific items, you can help with postage funds which are exceedingly needed.  We cannot mail our Care Packages without money for postage. You can mail a check to Soldiers Care Package Outreach, 85 Main Street, Hingham, MA 02043.
