Sponsor a Care Package

Adopt A Box

We also have an "Adopt a Box" Program where you can donate towards the shipping of a box (or 2 or more...you get the idea). An acknowledgement is included in the adopted box so that our Heroes are aware that you made the shipping of that particular box possible. Personal messages or notes can also be added as a special touch.

Individuals, families, schools, businesses, and community groups can all Adopt A Box. It makes a meaningful gift and a lasting connection between our community and those who protect our freedom.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Military Mission of Beaver County?
Military Mission of Beaver County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting deployed U.S. military personnel by sending care packages filled with essential and morale-boosting items.
How does Adopt A Box work?
Every donation of $50 goes toward the shipment of one care package to a deployed U.S. service member. An acknowledgement is included in the adopted box so that our Heroes are aware that you made the shipping of that particular box possible. Personal messages or notes can also be added as a special touch. A printable Adopt A Box form is available on our website.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Military Mission of Beaver County is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 93-3531547), so your donations are generally tax-deductible. Please consult a qualified tax professional to confirm deductibility for your specific situation.
Can I volunteer without being on the committee and attending meetings?
Absolutely. Contact us and together we can figure out what capacity you'd like to volunteer in. There are many ways to help outside of committee meetings — from packing boxes at events to spreading the word in your community.
My daughter needs volunteer hours for her Senior Project. Can she support MMBC?
Yes — we're always looking to help students fulfill volunteer hours for Senior Projects and other school requirements. Reach out to us and we'll find the right fit.
What kinds of items can I donate and where do I drop them off?
Check our Donate Items section above for the full list of needed items and drop-off locations across Beaver, Butler, Allegheny, Lawrence, and Clarion Counties. If you're unable to deliver to a drop-off location, contact us directly to make other arrangements.
How much do the elected officers get paid?
The organization operates entirely through volunteer support. MMBC has no paid officers or volunteers.
What if I would rather donate money instead of things?
You can donate directly through our website using our secure donation form. You can also participate in programs like Adopt a Box or attend one of our fundraising events.
