The Yellow Ribbon Support Center is dedicated to supporting our troops as they continue to fight the war on terrorism. Receiving encouraging letters and packages from home lifts the spirit and morale of those young men and women serving overseas. It reminds them they are not forgotten.
Donations and contributions are accepted at the center, packaged and sent to soldiers and their units deployed in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.Our soldiers’ wish list suggests items that are welcomed.
The Yellow Ribbon Support Center is staffed by dedicated, hard working volunteers. All visitors are invited to stop in, visit awhile and maybe lend a hand.

We ship these items to the men and women serving in harms way.  The cost is about $1.00 per pound and the last couple of years have been around $40,000.00 per year.  Any help with the shipping cost would be appreciated. All donations are tax deductible and no amount would be too small or too large. Thank you for your past and continued support with this mission.

the average cost per pound is $1.00.  Any help would be appreciated.

Please Note: All items donated should be NEW and preferably in the original manufacturer’s packaging unless otherwise noted.
Please avoid glass containers.
Please avoid large “economy” sized items. Foodstuffs packaged for individual portions and travel size toiletries are more convenient for our soldiers.
