SANTA ANA, CA – Just in time for the holidays, Operation Homefront launched eCarePackage, an online service that allows caring citizens to send care packages to deployed troops and their families. Service members and families register on eCarePackage.org , which protects their identity and location, and visitors can ‘adopt’ them based on common interests. Then visitors select individual items to create a customized care package for their chosen service member or family and include a personal message. Operation Homefront’s team of volunteers takes the order, boxes the selected items and ships them directly to the service member or family – always protecting their identity and physical location.
