Springfield Cares

Our mission is to let our military personnel know, that they are not forgotten.  
We have gathered together 19 years now and have mailed over 6,168 packages to our heroes serving our country overseas. We have paid over $100,000.00 in postage. All of this has been possible through the wonderful donations we have received over the past years AND, especially because of the fantastic volunteers we have that show up each month to partake in this meaningful project!
RED RIDE OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS has donated to our group for the past couple of years which has been a God sent blessing.
Thank you to everyone and God Bless

Hero Mail

Here we've published some of the letters that we've received from our troops abroad. These Heroes serving abroad are the reason why we do this. With permission we've republished them here.
