The post office has raised the prices for shipping flat rate boxes to $9.80 which increases our costs for shipping 1000 packages every 10 weeks significantly. Each summer, we find ourselves short on funds to send the care packages overseas to our Marines in August. Our total cost for shipping in August will be $9800. We need your help today!
