I want to organize a care package delivery to soldiers. I need to know of sites with addresses to send the care packages to. My youth leader said there are websites with addresses that soldiers have placed there to be sent care packages. I tried googling it and only got sites for romantic correspondence with soldiers, which I am not interested in. Any help you could give me would be welcome. Thanks.

It is currently against the law to provide that information, take a look at what I answered someone the other day it also applies to you.
The United States armed forces cannot recieve cards to "any serviceman" this year due to fears of terrorism. Instead, the Pentagon has set up a secure email system that allows anyone to send a message to "any serviceman." Just pick the branch of the service, type your message and click send.
The story behind the "to any serviceman" cards:
Since 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.

There are dozen of organizations, which allow you to purchase items and present it to a service person, but there are other options you might consider. Visit the closest VA Hospital or for something really unique try:
www.snipersonline.org (They ask for contributions to buy items that the Government refuses or that is out of stock.
God bless you and the Southern people.

Thank You for your caring and compassion for service members serving in the Middle-East. VBPLR12 gave you the best suggestion although the others are good too.
"AnySoldier.com" lists service members by 'Service Branch" and by "Country Deployed To". Each soldier has a profile that may simply say what they are doing or it may suggest items they would like to receive. (my heart goes out to the female soldiers)
Click on "Where to Send" to see the list of soldiers posting profiles for that day. Please note; this is a very serious organization and they DO NOT tolerate practical jokers.
Before you send anything, please read the section "What Not to Send". Your package will require a copy of "USPS form 2976A, Customs Declaration" available at your local post office. I would suggest that you mail your package "Priority Mail" and insured, it's a little pricey but it greatly reduces the possibility that your packages contents will be pilfered.
