Christmas Bells Will Soon A-Jingle, Let's Not Forget Those Who Are Single

Roughly 2/3 of our fighting forces are single men and women.
They serve... and they deserve to have a special Christmas, too.
Information about donating "Single Service Member Gifts"
This facet of our Operation Christmas Spirit program provides SURPRISE Christmas gifts to SINGLE service members who are often forgotten and assigned duty over the holidays so families can be together. Many single service members spend Christmas away from their own families, and we want them to feel the Spirit of Christmas, too.

1. Use the form below to:
- Register to be part of our Single Service Member Program
- Give us an estimate of how many single folks you'd like to support with your donation
- Pick a location to drop off or mail your gifts
- Give us an idea what type of donation you'd like to make
3. The sky is the limits
- These are surprise gifts, so no one is expecting them; they will appreciate your giving no matter what.
- These are not assigned to any particular service member because we tend to hand them out to those on duty and around the barracks at Christmastime. We also hand off gifts to units to pass on to the singles they know could use TLC the most.
- You can pick a gender to focus on or create gifts for males and females -- just label the box, stocking or bag with pink or pink ribbon for all the female gifts you give.
- You can get as creative as you'd like or donate gifts as simple as a card and a gift card.
- You can donate online and tell us what you'd like us to buy on our end for you.
