    Know a troop that needs support?

    Send over the coordinates and we’ll make sure they get support in the field!

    Both physical and monetary donations may be brought to the Blue Star Mother Troop Center, located at 6661 Clyo Rd, Centerville, Ohio. Current hours of operation are Saturdays from 9 AM to noon. The troop center is closed annually the first 2 weeks of July. Other arrangements can be made with advanced notice. Please contact us!

    We ask that you read our list carefully. Our troops love to receive care packages, but their needs change. The regulations also change due to location and availability.

    We no longer accept: Hotel toiletries, CDs books, puzzles, games, magazines, or anything in aerosol containers.

    If you are interested in writing letters or making cards for our Troops; please follow our required standards:  NO personal information can be used in the making of materials (first name only is acceptable) – NO LAST NAMES, NO PHONE NUMBERS, NO ADDRESS or NO EMAILS can be indicated on the material.  We DO NOT PROVIDE MILITARY NAMES OR ADDRESSES for any reason. We also do not accept pre packed boxes filled without our supervision. All items must be inspected by our staff prior to shipment. These requirements are necessary to protect our troops and to comply with foreign location shipping regulations. If we are using the material to send in our care packages – it must comply with these standards. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    The NEED for Items and Supplies is Always Changing; but, Always Necessary, to Ensure Our Support: We THANK YOU for Your Generosity!
