About Us
Supporting Our Troops, Their Families, and Veterans
Over the years, Troopathon has sent out over 1000 tons of care packages to deployed troops and counting, thanks to the unwavering support of thousands of pro-troop civilians, veterans, and military families nationwide. We stand united in our unwavering support of the military personnel on the front lines who protect our country.
At Troopathon, we understand the profound importance of our heroes' sacrifices and have worked tirelessly with other nonprofits, service organizations, and citizens to benefit our troops and military families. Each care package includes a personalized note, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices made in defense of our freedom.
Join us in our mission to uplift those who defend our freedoms. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
