Operation Fill-the-Box is providing care package to deployed service members.

The family of Brian and Lisa Losness in partnership with the Idaho National Guard’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation Fund, Mission 43, Operation Grateful Hearts, and the Army’s Service Member & Family Services is looking to provide one thousand care packages for recently deployed troops from the Idaho National Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team serving in the Middle East.

“Our son was recently deployed to the Middle East and we wanted to send him a care package.  But, why just one for our son?  Why not one to each service member recently deployed,” said Lisa Losness.   With that question in mind Lisa and Brian Losness along with community partners, have embarked on Operation Fill-the-Box with the goal of a filling one care package to everyone.”

The Operation-Fill-the-Box partnership is reaching out to individuals and businesses to engage in helping with care packages.  You can help by filling a box, donate items for boxes, or donate funds for shipping and supplies. 

The Idaho National Guards’ Morale Welfare and Recreation Fund is acting as the operations 501(c)3. For more information on how to get involved go to www.idngmwr.com/get-involved .

To help with this community project, visit the Operation Fill-the-Box Facebook or Instagram page for more information on package size, approved items and more. 

The Project begins on October 15, 2022, and will conclude on November 15, 2022, to ensure care packages will reach service members by the holidays.
