Request List for Care Packages

I found this list on the internet of items that are now being requested for care packages and wanted to share!!! Lets get all involved!!!

UPDATED April 3, 2007:
In many locations, there is an abundance of toiletries. Please consider donating from the "most requested" items list here:
(see below for specifics on these most requested items)

Snacks and non-perishable food items, particularly tuna kits, beef jerkey, canned fruit, dried fruit, nuts and other healthy snacks
Undershirts (white, short sleeve)
Socks (bootcut, black, green, or white)
Cigarettes, Coppenhagen and Skoal
Single-use cameras (disposable style)
Pre-sweetened flavored beverage mixes
Letters of support
(letters from you, from children, or from your business, office, school, or other organization in support of our troops)
AT&T Global Pre-Paid Military Calling Cards
(calling cards to work in Iraq and Afghanistan must be these specific cards; click here to purchase)

Gum, Lifesavers, Mints (blister pack gum is best because of the intense heat)
Fruit: individual serving size cans of fruit, dried fruit
(Note: Plastic fruit cups with the plastic seal are not recommended as they can open in transit; individual-size cans are preferred.)
Nuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts, trail mix
Power bars, protein bars, nutritional bars
Beef jerky, beef summer sausage (non-perishable; labeled USDA Beef)
Single-serving bags of snacks, crackers, chips, snack mixes
Pop Tarts, cereal bars, "milk & cereal" bars, granola bars
Ramen Noodles, Cup-O-Noodles serving cups
Ravioli and other canned ready-to-eat meals (canned or styrofoam single serving are best)
Tuna lunch kits (includes foil pouch of tuna, crackers, and condiments in each single-serving kit)
Canned sardines, smoked oysters
Torengos� nacho-style chips and canned nacho cheese dip
Jalepeno Velveeta� and crackers
Taco Bell� Sauce Packets
Seasoning salts, flavoring salts

Pork and pork by-products are not allowed to be shipped to most Middle East combat locations. Please send non-perishable foods only. Single-serving package sizes are preferred; large packages won't stay fresh and are harder to ship. If you can stuff it in your pocket and it's not going to spoil or melt during the summer season, it's a good thing to send!
