More Than Just a Care Package.
Yes, Mission Resupply is a care package program. But to us at Stronger Warrior Foundation it’s much more than that. To us, its a way to not only send a needed package to those deployed, but it’s a way for us to personally connect with a deployed Warrior. From the time of the first cut of wood for a crate, to the moment we ship it off, our care packages go through an unique process that adds intangible value that cannot be measured by the monetary value of the items inside each package. Join us as we share the story of our first care package, A001.
Stop 1: Crate Construction
The first stop for A001 was it’s actual construction. Every care package we send to our deployed Warriors comes in the form of a wooden crate. Stop 1 is the first reason why we believe Mission Resupply is so much more than just your ordinary care package program.
Stop 2: Decorate & Personalize
After production, A001 was decorated by a donor, also known as a sponsor. At stop 2, each crate is decorated and personalized by its sponsor. This sponsor will be able to add their own items to the care package along with letters, and pictures if they wish too. We believe that stop 2 helps develop donor connection, which we describe as connecting the donor to those they impact. In this case, it’s the Warrior that will eventually receive this crate.
Stop 3: Video Message Upload
After being personalized, the sponsor for A001 uploaded a video to our website that could be seen by the deployed Warrior that receives the care package. Every donor or sponsor has this option in order to further the donor connection experience.
Stop 4: Crate Packing
Upon construction and being personalized, A001 was packed by the SWF team. Every care package we send is packed by the SWF team and volunteers with wish list items that have been identified by previously deployed Warriors. All of the items in our care packages come from donation drives or contributions from local businesses.
Stop 5: Shipping
After the SWF team packed A001, they shipped this care package to a deployed Warrior. Upon completion of our team and volunteers packing the crates, our organization handles the shipping and sends them off to their final stop.
Stop 6: Our Warrior Receives It
A001 made its final stop in Italy, in the hands of our deployed Warrior. Every care package we send is sent to a Warrior that is deployed outside of the United States of America. Last year the Stronger Warrior Foundation was able to send over 150 crates to Warriors in the following Countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Italy, Japan, and Syria.
A001’s Impact
“Just wanted to thank you personally for the beautiful hand made wooden lock box, along with all of the other goodies! This package really made me so happy and even made me tear up some! Roman Bybliv is a wonderful craftsman! I hope you all have a great day and thanks again!!!”
