American Military Support's Merry Christmas and Peace for Our Troops Fundraiser

American Military Support would like announce the launch of its two Christmas campaigns. The Rio Grande Valley community is encouraged to support our local Valley Troops and RGV Veterans by participating in these campaigns.

AMS is the only organization, established in March 2010, to provide care packages (quality of life packages) specifically to Rio Grande Valley troops serving overseas and stateside. AMS is a 501C3 non-profit organization and completely depends on the support of the community.

Your support of this local organization will provide comfort items to our troops this Christmas season. Donations will also assist with the following projects: help provide support to our local homeless veterans, provide temporary assistance to veterans needing groceries, help provide complimentary coffee and snacks at the local VA clinic.

The Peace For Our Troops campaign directly encourages schools and organizations to help raise funds for the causes previously mention. Schools can contact us for further details. Monetary donations for this campaign will be accepted through December.

Donations can me made in the following manner: PayPal or mail your check/money order/cashier's check directly to American Military Support, P.O. Box 533365, Harlingen, TX 78553. Valley residents are encouraged to enrolled their valley loved ones and friends to be recipients of these Quality of Life Packages (QLPs).
