| Our Mission: |
| We're creating care packages for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad. Often our injured men and women arrive for medical care without their belongings and it can take weeks before those belongings catch up with them - and sometimes they don't arrive at all. Even when injured our troops need items like hygiene and grooming products, clothing, entertainment and support from the home front. It is the mission of this effort to help assure those individuals are honored for their sacrifice and comforted by creating "GO BAGS", or transition kits. These kits include comfort items like our "Four Freedoms Gratitude Quilt", personal care items and products that entertain and provide "down time" for their spiritual, emotional and physical healing. We rely on the expertise of Pastoral Care Services and others knowledgeable about what items are most appropriate for their particular unit or facility. As a result, the program focus will change to meet the needs of those we sponsor. Operation: Quiet Comfort is a 501(c)(3) public charity approved by the IRS on January 11, 2007. Your donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. |
