Anyone Can Help Troops Call Home

DoD Military Exchanges have been authorized to sell select prepaid calling cards to individuals and organizations who wish to purchase these cards for our troops serving overseas in OEF and OIF. The cards are for sale here to those otherwise unauthorized to shop the Exchange. The cards can be sent to specific service members or they can be donated. There are several ways to help even if you don’t know someone deployed.

• FOR MILITARY TROOPS Deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) / Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) – The American Red Cross will distribute your Prepaid Card(s) to military personnel deployed in support of ongoing military operations (not recognized as tax deductible donations).
• FOR AIR FORCE MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES – The Air Force Aid Society, as the official charity of the United States Air Force, agrees to accept Prepaid Card(s) from individuals or companies who choose to contribute the cards to Air Force members and their families.
• FOR DEPLOYED, WOUNDED AND HOSPITALIZED SERVICE MEMBERS – The Fisher House supports military personnel wounded in action and those seriously ill being treated in military hospitals in the U.S. and overseas. Fisher Houses provide a “home-away-from-home” for service members and their families while a loved one is hospitalized at the military’s major medical centers in the U.S. and overseas at the Army Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Your donation of Prepaid Card(s) will enable Fisher House to ease the burden for military personnel and their families at a most stressful time in their lives.
• FOR SAILORS, MARINES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN TIME OF NEED – The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is a unique, non-profit, private, charitable organization that supports America’s Sailors, Marines and their families in time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is in an excellent position to identify individuals who have the greatest need for these prepaid telephone cards.
• MILITARY MEMBERS PARTICIPATING IN USO PROGRAMS – Your gift of Prepaid Phone Cards will be distributed by the United Service Organizations (USO), whose mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation-type services to uniformed military personnel and their families. The USO provides a wide range of programs and services worldwide. As a result, our service men and women have the opportunity to experience a “touch of home” even while serving far away from loved ones.
• FOR INJURED SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES – Your gift of Prepaid Calling Card(s) will be distributed by the Warrior and Family Support Center (WFSC). The WFSC offers a comfortable environment for injured Soldiers and their families to relax and socialize during the Soldier’s medical rehabilitation at the Brooke Army Medical Center.
