I asked this question in a PM to Homey, but thought I'd present it to the collective as well...

I have quite a few sacks in my living room of donations made to troops that need to be shipped. I'm not sending it to anyone specific, so how exactly does that work? If I take it to the Post Office will they know where to send it?

Are there any special postage rates for sending care packages to troops?

SicEm, PM me. My Aunt runs a donation program for the troops. You'll like her, actually.

Yeah, that might work better. :D

Aunt Pat probably doesn't want to get random calls from my internet friends. ;)

my old lady sent a ton of boxes to her relative over there. the little kids in her school all wrote notes and letters to the soldiers and of course they sent food, and other items. via post office.

Nobody said it had to be US troops did they? You can't tell me North Koreans don't suffer shrinkage, I watch M*A*S*H.
