How Can I Send Coffee To Soldiers In Iraq?
Posted in Luxury Handbags on 05/31/2009 12:33 pm by a-lianI am a store manager for Starbucks. We collect donations in the form of bags of coffee to send to soldiers in Iraq. I’m told that in order for us to send these donations, we must ship the coffee directly to a specific soldier, rather than some sort of general address. Can anyone hook me up with a U.S. soldier in Iraq who would be willing to distribute coffee to other members of our armed forces in the areas where good coffee is a luxury? (By the way, I’m told that in areas where brewing the coffee is not an option, our soldiers often chew the beans for that “coffee buzz.” We would be sending whole beans to insure freshness.) Most of the coffee we send is purchased and donated by our customers who attach short notes of encouragement to our armed forces members. The person at our store who used to head up this operation recently transferred to another store, and the soldier to whom we used to send the beans has since returned to the States. Please help us help them.How Can I Send Coffee To Soldiers In Iraq?

Easiest way may be to just contact deployed unit’s rear d’s, they can ship things to their battalions. I know our battalion, and especially my hubby would really appreciate it. You can email me and for more info. Thanks for supporting our troops!!!

You might want to consider sending the coffee to units stationed in Iraq. I would recommend you contact CENTCOM for advice and instructions.

You can contact any base that has deployed personnel and the should be able to send it out for you. We just send out a bunch of care packages on monday to our sailors out Iraq, and something like that can be added.

First of all, that is absolutely awesome. Secondly, if you have a base near you (or even a national guard armoury), call them. Chances are that members of the unit are over there or they will know somebody who is. Or talk to a returned soldier, they probably still know people over there who would love decent coffee.

go to this web page
USO.org that is the non profit for the service people. I am sure they will have a method on sending gifts and packages to service personnel.
