Beanies for Baghdad

The troops in Iraq look forward to receiving and distributing the items you ship creating long lasting friendships and sharing smiles with children where many live in extreme poverty. Your support is very much appreciated and the requests from the troops remains strong

1. Beanie Babies
2. Stuffed Animals
3. School Supplies
4. Frisbees
5. Balls
6. Sporting equipment in general
7. Small cars (hot wheels, matchbox and etc.)
8. Treats (individually wrapped)
9. Children in general like the same things everywhere. Many of these children have nothing so anything is a big deal to them.

Handmade Cards needed

Handmade cards are needed for our wounded men and women in hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan. Cards should contain words of thanks and support. No puffy paint, glitter or anything else that could come off in a wound...no symbols of battle, guns, religion or death, please.

Also accepted are commercial cards of thanks and support signed by anyone and everyone. The more cards, the better!

Besides name, add, town and state...people love to know where the cards came from. :)

Drop off your jeans at any Aéropostale store now through February 14th and the first 100,000 pairs will go to homeless teens in Haiti.

Aéropostale has agreed to match the number of jeans going to Haiti, so with your help we can send 200,000 pairs of jeans to teens who need them. http://www.dosomething.org/teensforjeans/home
