HOW YOU CAN HELP

Landstuhl Army Medical Center:- Donations for the Soldiers

I know that alot of you out there would like to know how to donate items for the wounded soldiers that come through the LRMC hospital. I spoke to the Chaplain Services Office and they sent me a list of the things they need the most. There are many things which they have a surplus of, and others which always seem in short supply. As a nurse on the floor, I can say that I have seen how thankful the soldiers are for your giving and how much they appreciate all the gifts that they receive. You can add a letter with your address if you want to so that they can write back and express their thanks.

The easiest and most helpful way to give a gift is by making a cash contribution. This gives greater flexibility to purchase the most urgent needs in a timely and predictable way and to control the flow and distribution of the items based on current patient loads.

You can participate by sending your check made payable to IMA-E CTOF-WW, marked for "Wounded Warrior". All items should be sent to the following address: Commander, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, ATTN: MCEUL-CH, CMR 402, APO AE 09180.

Another way people help is by mailing specific items. Some on going needs are…

Athletic shoes
Men’s sizes – 9 to 15
Women’s sizes – 6 to 9

Men’s and women’s Fall and Winter jackets
Sizes medium through extra large
Good quality Shavers
Boxer Underwear and Boxer Briefs, Medium - Large

Phone Cards

Air-evacuation Pillows- small couch size pillows, found on some airlines, can be decorated with patriotic messages, national colors etc. I found these at http://www.nursinghomeapparel.com/shop/product88.html, for 55-60 bucks/dozen. but any cloth type would work

DVD's. Any ones are great.
