$0 so far today to keep Books For Soldiers going & our bills are piling up! Donate today.
Since 2003, we shipped over $30 million in care packages and aid to US troops serving overseas. That is a record and so are our bills. Every year things get more expensive – bandwidth, hosting, rent, care package items and most importantly POSTAGE!
This year sees us beginning our transition from only shipping care packages to also include helping the soldiers that have returned home. With all the work the soldiers do, they need us the most right now. We operate totally on donations and usually this is a month-to-month operation. Please help where you can.

NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is a self proclaimed crafter. A week ago she made a stuffed dinosaur from scraps on the space station. The little T-rex is made from the lining of Russian food containers and the toy is stuffed with scraps from an old T-shirt. While many toys have flown into space, this is the first produced in space.

“This is a 10 min stack taken a few nights ago at the Wedge Overlook in the San Rafael Swell … at one point I counted 24 strikes in just 30 seconds.”
Beautiful and amazing.
