Hogs for Troops

Operation Support Our Troops-America was founded in February 2003 when a group of military moms and supporters to coordinate a Valentine’s Day project to ship boxes of items to the troops already deployed to support the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The idea for the project stemmed from the reality that while out in the field or in remote places, troops were unable to get some core necessities. As word spread about the project the community pitched in and helped fill the boxes. The momentum continued to build and items for the boxes kept coming in even after the project was over. As the operation evolved it outgrew the founder’s home. That was when a Vietnam era veteran stepped in and donated warehouse space for the comfort and care packages to be assembled and shipped. At this time, we have shipped over 2 million pounds of comfort and care items (that’s more than 67,000 packages) to troops deployed in dangerous places around the world.As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we endeavor to provide comfort and care at home and away to our active duty military, families and veterans. Members of the military community from all across the United States have been served by the programs of Operation Support our Troops America, which now includes Leap of Faith, Veterans Assistance Program, and G.I. Yoga in addition to our Comfort and Care Package program.
