yes, if you seal them properly.

Pack them in ziplock bags, make sure you squeeze all the air out. Put the bags in a tin of some kind, package the tin in a box. You can go to the post office and get free priority mail boxes which are really good for mailing to APO/FPO boxes. You can't use these for an actual Iraq address, I'm assuming your sending to a soldier. Also, Oreos mail really well, because even if they break all to pieces, you can still eat them with a spoon. Keep up the good work, our soldiers can use all the help they can get.

NO dry ice, no coolers; Some posters should really GET REAL. Geeze.
Take cookies for instance; don't add frosting or choc. chips in this heat. cool and wrap in plastic wrap; then bubble wrap everything in sections, inside the box.
Mail in a Priority box.
Our mail only travels by the US POST OFFICE as far as the APO, AFO, addresses ( usually a military mail sorting post stateside.) Then the boxes WAIT until there's room on a transport plane to that base overseas.
I sent 4 boxes to my nephews a month ago....it takes 2 to 3 weeks....give or take a week. Then once the box gets to their base;....it sits there, until they get back to base.
My nephews are already drooling ...thinking about my Chocolate Chunk Black Walnut Monster Cookies, that I make every Christmas...but it's wayyyyy too hot to send these....right now.
Use a tupperware container inside the box; something airtight.

I don't know if this will work, but send them in a styrofoam cooler that is filled with dry ice. Once my aunt sent us ice-cream from Texas all the way to the other side of the country like that. Actually, the ice cream company packaged it, not my aunt, but maybe you could get someone who works with food to do it for you. It was still frozen and tasted delicious.

Make sure it's air-tight. Wrap them tightly in Saran (plastic) wrap, put in a Ziploc bag, press all the air out of the Ziploc bag and put in a well-cushioned box.
That's really sweet of you. Good luck!

make goodies that have a relatively long shelf life, and make sure to put them in an airtight storage container (such as rubbermaid, tupperware, or gladware). some people put a slice of bread in cookies and brownies to keep them soft.

If it's something like cookies use a vacuum sealer and then ship them.

get a vaccuum sealer, it sucks out the air, thus preventing spoiling
