Last Updated Tuesday December 26, 2023 [About Fifteen Hundred (3:00 PM for you civilians)]
I just want to let everyone know that our box packing meetings are usually on the First Wednesday of the month.
Also, some fund-raising functions [Gun shows, Montrose Blueberry Festival, Montrose Orchard, Woods & Water etc.] have been confirmed & one, not yet.
Thank you & please stay safe & healthy! Don't forget to Smile everyday!

Again this year we will be starting the box packing meetings around 2:00 PM
The winners for the 2023 Raffle are posted below....
Check back for updates about Outing's & Box Packing meeting's.
Since March 2003, a small group of mid-Michigan men and women have met regularly
To box up packages for Active duty, Reserve & Guard of the U.S. military serving overseas, see About Us for a little more information.
Many currently or have had immediate family members serving.
Others have discovered a wonderful way to show gratitude to all those in uniform.
We're all volunteers and represent all ages, political views and backgrounds.
We're a non-profit group; all monies donated are spent for postage and contents of the packages, see the events page for 2024 to see when we are meeting next or where we have a display set up.
If you would like to see a few pictures, you can start Here.
Sometimes, money is collected for special projects, see Family Support.
Thank you for visiting our site! Please feel free to stop by anytime!
There are links at the bottom of each page to help you find your way around.
A couple of the questions we hear often are: Where can I take my donation and who can be on the list?
Sooooooooooo, 1st: Folks can drop off "Stuff" at..........
The Burton VFW Post #2777
located at 2260 S. Belsay Rd, Burton MI
OR
You are always welcome to stop by any of our events and Box packing meetings.
The Times & Schedule are listed here Events 2023
Feel free to E-Mail us HERE or call us at: (810) 938-4388 or (810) 629-2072 to make any arrangements
as well as for more information or if you’d like us to pick some things up.
2nd: How does MHSTT get the names???
Here is how it works.
Any member of America's military serving in any part of the world
can get their name added to our group’s mailing list, by family, friends, Battle Buddy &&& etc.
A phone call, e-mail or snail mail {MHSTT P.O. Box 320 112, Flint Mi. 48532} is all it takes...
Pssst It's free, but don't tell anybody - K ;)
Once we receive their name and mailing address, we will then pack them a box at our next meeting [sometimes sooner]
and send them a welcome letter & questionnaire.
Because of the time they need to respond, we will send up to three boxes.
However, we MUST have either the questionnaire mailed back [a pre-addressed envelope is included]
or an e-mail with the questions answered before we can send any others.
There are two main reasons for this:
First, when they respond, it tells us that the address is valid and the box was received by the person it was intended for.
Second, we need to know their return month.
ANY & ALL information received from them [or you] is kept in the strictest confidence and CAN NOT be given out to anyone!
When we have the answers to the questions on file, we will continue to mail our care packages to them for the rest of their tour.
Since boxes do not follow them when they rotate home, we normally stop mailing approximately
4 weeks prior to their Rotation home date.
So the short answer is ANYONE can add someone's name [From anywhere & any Branch of the military !!!] to our mailing list - ALL FOR FREE...
Still not sure --- FEEL FREE to Contact us and ask!!!
As of the end of 2023, MHSTT has mailed well over 20,500 Boxes full of smiles...
To OVER 2,250 DIFFERENT people, some of them for more than "Several" deployments...

This is our next raffle.
As you can see, it is also for FOUR great prizes............
This is one of the ways we raise money.
This year [so far] it costs $18.40 or $23.00 for the "Flat Rate" boxes [In early 2024].
The #7 box is priced by weight [and can be much more] That is just for the postage to mail each box.
Then there is labels, tape, copy paper, ink BLA BLA BLA BLA and what is inside them ;)...
Did I mention the cost of postage etc. is going up again next year.....
It will also help "Marines Taking Care of Kids" with the costs of running their 501c program.
If you would like a [some] ticket(s), just let me know and we can make it happen [I'm your Huckleberry ;)].

If you would like to help or just more information about our group that isn't already here, please send us an E-Mail
We hope you enjoy our web site and stop back often.
We all seem to get wrapped up in our day to day problems and just getting by. Taking for granted all the normal things we think we deserve. Not realizing the cost paid by a group of men and women some 6 decades ago so we can have the freedoms we enjoy. Make no mistake about it, the folks who have fought since WWII and are even now fighting for freedom deserve our thanks.
