How does Forgotten Soldiers Outreach give back to the community?

Forgotten Soldiers Outreach is a nonprofit organization based in South Florida that focuses on supporting deployed military service members. Our primary program is assembling and sending “We  Care” packages to deployed troops. These care packages typically contain items like snacks, hygiene products, and letters of support.

Through our “We Care” package program, our mission is to boost the morale of deployed soldiers and let them know they are not forgotten. By providing these care packages, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach contributes to the well-being of military personnel serving abroad and helps strengthen the connection between them and the community back home. In addition, our care packages help to ease the burden to family members who would have to purchase items, package them and ship them out at a considerable cost.

Forgotten Soldiers Outreach also supports the South Florida community through our Angel program. When we receive donated toiletry, hygiene items that we cannot ship in our “We Care” packages, they are passed along to local veteran organizations to be distributed to veterans in need.

Finally, Our Educational Outreach program provides educational projects in support of local schools and curriculum through letter writing campaigns as well as encouraging discussion in current events and geography. Various youth groups such as the Girls and Boy Scouts can be provided with opportunities to earn merit patches while young adults in clubs such as the ROTC are afforded the honor to gather with local dignitaries and earn community service hours.
