During the Pandemic, We Donated Care Packages to Deserving People

Sweet Treats, Healthy Snacks, and Easy Meals Made Life a Little Easier

While My Hero Crate and our sister companies are experts in creating delicious care packages, yummy snack boxes, and fun gift boxes for military service members and everyone else you know, we also make sure we’re doing our part to help improve the lives of the people in our community and around our country.

During the pandemic, we fulfilled several requests for care package donations so that we could serve in the best way we know: bringing joy through special snack boxes. Here’s the impact we made this past year with care packages assembled and sent with love.

Snack Boxes to Fill Pantries

Our sister company, The Care Crate Co., was asked on three occasions during the pandemic to donate food care packages to families facing COVID-related financial difficulties.

Our food packages, like the one filled with microwaveable meals, helped them stay nourished while staying at home during the early days of the pandemic.

Giving Away Personal Care Kits

During stay-at-home orders, we used social media to give away care packages with personal care items. Our easy-to-enter giveaway contests gave recipients another reason to smile.

We donated a total of 36 care packages, which included delicious snacks, first aid kits, cleansing wipes, and protective face masks.

Sweet Care Packages for Kid VIPs

If you were admitted to the hospital or moved into other protective housing during the pandemic, you weren’t able to have as many visitors, which means you’d need things to brighten your day. This was especially true for kids!

We donated eight cases of candy care packages to young cancer patients and residents of a children’s home. While we know our care packages aren’t necessarily life-changing, we are thrilled we brought happiness to our recipients.

My Hero Crate is always looking for unique causes to donate some of our care packages. Contact us to tell us about the organization you think deserves free care packages sent to their door.

As You Sent Military Care Packages to Your Heroes, We Donated to Covid Relief

We might be a military care package gift company, but above all, we’re a company that cares about people and what’s happening around the world. So, when we heard about the second wave of COVID-19 in India, we were ready to stand up and help.

Not only do we help you make your loved ones in the armed forces smile with our deployment care packagesandmilitary gift ideas, we also want to step in and do what we can for those in need around the world.

Our Military Gift Company’s Fundraiser Overview

To raise awareness of India’s coronavirus crisis, we shared information on our My Hero Crate social media posts. We asked our social media followers to like and share our post, and in exchange, we agreed to donate $1 per interaction. We did the same on social media for our sister companies: My College CrateandThe Care Crate Co.

When our fundraiser drive ended, we were pleased with the results!

Overall, My Hero Crate social media followers helped us donate $19 toward India’s COVID-19 relief through www.Covid.GiveIndia.org. Across all our care package brands, we were able to donate $122 just from our social media shares alone.

Thank YOU! 

If you are one of our valued social media followers who interacted with our post, we want to say thank you! Because of you, we donated some of our resources to this very important cause. 

And remember that you can make your military hero smile with an Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, or Army care package from My Hero Crate.
