Welcome to Operation Buckeye OPERATION BUCKEYE was formed with the sole purpose of sending boxes to our troops as a way to thank them for their efforts and to bring a touch of home to them. The physical conditions they endure are difficult and being away from family for long periods of time is also difficult. OPERATION BUCKEYE boxes contain food and snacks, personal hygiene items, reading materials, and good wishes of love and support. All monies raised through letter writing campaigns, media exposure, and donations from individuals and companies are used to purchase items , supplies, and postage. OPERATION BUCKEYE provides caring civilians the opportunity to show their appreciation and respect to the men and women of our military stationed in hostile and remote regions of the world. Operation Buckeye News: We are not going to pack during the months of April or May as the construction at the site will prevent us from doing so. We will resume operations on June 28, 2008. June 14 is Flag Day, and we will be doing special promotions at several locations. ============== We will be having a golf outing on Monday, August 18, 2008, at OSU Gray Course to raise funds to ship boxes to the troops.

To date, 5247 boxes have been sent. The boxes contain food items, toiletries, hygiene and entertainment items, and of course Girl Scout cookies. Adopt a box is a way for individuals to show their appreciation and support for our troops. Operation Buckeye will provide the packed boxes and your $10 donation to cover the cost of postage is all that is requested. You will fill out the send label with your troops name on it, sign a thank you card (optional) and the box will be on its way.
