Thanks for supporting our troops. There are links here to several organizations that put together care packages for our troops. If you follow the links you will find drop off points and addresses. However, if it seems confusing to you, please feel free to drop off any items you may have right here at the station. Our address is 1420 Koll Circle, San Jose, Ca. 95112. We're near the point where 101 and 880 intersect. Take the First Street exit, make a right on Gish. I will make sure that your items get to the right people. That goes for individual items, from cards and letters, to checks, or cash contributions, whatever. So far, I've been working with operation yellow ribbon and operation moms, but there are many wonderful organizations who do the same thing. However, at this time, if you make a donation, it will wind up with one of these two groups because I've had personal contact with them. As I get more info I will post it here.

What to donate:

Letters and cards of support

Pictures and drawings from kids

Diaries and notebooks with pens

Stationary and envelopes

Readers Digest magazines

Personal hygene items

Handi-wipes or any kind of dry wipes

Feminine hygene items

Shaving kits

Travel size toiletries

Panty hose (to keep sand out of rifles)

Condoms (to keep sand out of gun barrels)

Sports magazines

Sunflower seeds

Hard Candies

Beef Jerky

Tube socks

Hot sauce packets from Taco Bell

This is just a partial list, if you've got some more suggestions please email thenm to so I can add them.
