ADDRESSES FOR MAILING ITEMS TO THE TROOPS:

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. 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 $11.95. Please note: the rate increases to $12.50 effective January 4, 2010.

Also, remember to include your return address so the troops can send their thanks for your generous donation. Please note, the Priority Mail box is 12 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 5 inches high.
