Friends Of The Troops

Friends Of The Troops is a nonprofit organization founded to support, encourage and honor Veterans and members of the U.S. Armed Forces in times of need.

We were founded to support Service Members and Veterans who, for any reason, slip through the cracks of other organizations.

We help Veterans and those currently serving our country and their families by:

• Sending cards of encouragement and appreciation to deployed troops, troops serving stateside and to Veterans, including those at VA Hospitals, Veteran Homes and those taking Honor Flights
• Sending care packages to troops serving overseas
• Sending snacks, coffee and other requested items to military chaplains to help boost troop morale
• Sending snacks, hygiene and other needed supplies to VA Hospitals and Veteran Homes
• Providing food, diapers, winter coats, clothing and other necessities to Veterans and stateside troops and their families throughout the year
• Providing emergency assistance to troops, Veterans and their families during times of crisis
• Distributing toys and fulfilling wish lists of military children during the Holidays

Friends Of The Troops achieved a 98% efficiency rating in 2021 and 2022, a 97% efficiency rating in 2023, and a 98% efficiency rating in 2024, making us one of the highest-rated nonprofits in the country.

That means that 97-98 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to support our troops, Veterans and military families.
