Mission
Founded in 2004, Packages From Home is dedicated to supporting U.S. military service members, veterans, and their loyal K9 companions.
The organization’s primary mission is to send care packages to over 176,000 active-duty service members stationed in more than 167 countries, demonstrating gratitude for their sacrifices in the name of freedom.
In 2012, Packages From Home expanded its focus to include returning war veterans, offering care packages, mental health support, and VIP experiences in collaboration with veteran organizations and corporate partners.
In 2015, the organization launched the "Bones From Home" program, honoring military K9s and service animals by providing specialized care packages.
Through these initiatives, Packages From Home underscores its unwavering commitment to uplifting heroes, both human and canine.
