We are an informal group organizing periodically to gather materials, pack and ship care packages to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines as a small token of our appreciation for their gallantry in service.

 
The Drive is the result of the hard work and donations of hundreds of individuals and organizations.  There are way too many individuals to list here. 
 
Here's a partial list of the organizations that worked and donated generously to the drive:
