Goto sendasoldier.com... there you can get a list of things that the troops need... It tells you how and where to send packages. I sent a box it was a bulk-diaper box of toiletries for the woman.. It had samples of deoderant/tampons. Mini soaps and lotions.. I cleaned out my parents toiletries, my own and my in-laws.. It cost about $12 to send... Good luck
