How to Get Involved
Contrary to what many folks think, we still have large numbers of Troops serving in remote overseas areas. In fact, some of the locations are more remote than ever before. “Creature comforts” are sparse and something as simple as a greeting card that can be mailed home to a wife, child, sweetheart, fiancé, parent, or friend is often not available at all.
For this reason, Totally for Troops cardmakers across the U.S. are work year-around make greeting cards for our Troops. Many belong to stamping or scrapbooking groups, church organizations, service, civic, and outreach clubs, or simply a group of friends who enjoy creating and sharing company. The combined efforts of all Totally for Troops cardmakers and our supporting organizations enable us to provide cards to our deployed Troops year-around.
Totally for Troops is extraordinarily fortunate to have good, working relationships with commanders of numerous deployed units. Initially, a dialog is established between our director and the unit commander s, often before the units even deploys. This is the key to our success. Because we are constantly making and supplying cards in large quantities—hundreds and sometimes thousands at a time--we need and rely on many cardmakers to keep the flow of greeting cards going.
Whether you are an individual cardmaker or a member of a stamping, scrapbooking, church, service, or crafters group, we welcome your involvement. Contact us if you would like to be a part of T4T. Groups across the United States are making cards for us. You may wish to work alone or you may want to start a group yourself. We can provide helpful hints on how to start a cardmaking group. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the Cardmaking Guidelines link of the website for lots of useful information.
Also, if you patronize a favorite scrapbooking or crafts store and would like us to contact the store about publicizing Totally for Troops, please contact us by Email.
Of course, monetary donations are always needed. Without them, our efforts come to a halt. 100% of all funds donated are used for such things as postage, license fees, paper and supplies for workshops, and cardmaking equipment and materials. No one receives personal compensation in any way
