    K-9 CARE KIT INFORMATION

    Thank you for your overwhelming support of the K-9 units. Base Command Group has successfully stocked a storage room full of treats and goods for our K-9 friends. The K-9 units are on a strict regiment and are no longer in need of items. Please reference the list above for donation items to support the troops.

    PACKAGING INFORMATION

    The U.S. Postal Service introduced a Military Care Kit, or "Mili-kit" to make it easier for military families and friends to send care packages to their loved ones stationed overseas. Since the inception of the Military Care Kit, the U.S. Postal Service has shipped more than 150,000 kits. Each kit contains two Priority Mail boxes, six Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes, eight Priority Mail labels, one roll of Priority Mail tape and eight customs forms with envelopes.

    This kit may be ordered by calling the USPS Expedited Package Supply Center at 1-800-610-8734. There is no charge for the kit. The Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes included in the kit can be shipped to any APO/FPO in the world, regardless of weight, for $10.95.

    Also, remember to include your return address so the troops can send their thanks for your generous donation.

    Note: Listeners have offered to send us money. That's not necessary and we will not accept it. The most effective way for you to help is to send any of the goods listed above.
