Packages From Home

Show our troops we're thinking of them year round. Help us send them packages from home!

Twice a year, Southeastern NC  comes together to show our troops we are thinking of them here at home with our Packages from Home program.

 

Step Up for Soldiers, The Big Talker and WWAY News Channel 3 partner with regional residents to collect personal care items for packages to ship to our brave men and women serving over seas. These small items mean so much and remind our troops we are thinking of them here at home.

You can also make monetary donations payable to Step Up for Soldiers, which help to offset the shipping cost of these care packages as well!

Items can be dropped off at Hometown Wilmington Media - 122 Cinema Drive in Wilmington. Help us send them packages from home!
