One of the best ways to contribute is to volunteer your time at our semi-annual care package workshops. Moving our supplies/boxes, assembling the packages themselves, and preparing for shipping is a huge undertaking! It’s also a lot of fun - and the payoff is great. You can also donate items for our care packages.

Community Groups
Schools & Youth Groups
Our care packages are truly community crafted. If your school, classroom, or civic organization is interested in contributing to the contents of the care packages in the form of cards, letters, crafts, etc., then please reach out to us! We would love to hear from you. Getting your youth group involved at our events is a great way to serve the community.
Veteran Organizations
While we work to serve our active duty service members and veterans, we have received an unbelievable amount of support from our local veteran organizations. If your organization is interested in donating, please see our donate page, or reach out to us via email or Facebook (see the contacts page). We’d also love to hear from you if your group would like to get involved at our events.
Businesses
MFMC has run promotions/sales events in the past with local businesses and restaurants (primarily through portion of proceeds sales). Please reach out if interested!
