Soldiers' Angels is a non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families. Founded by the mother of two American soldiers, they are an international, volunteer-led organization supporting America's men and women in uniform. To date, Soldiers' Angels have sent hundreds of thousands of care packages and letters to deployed service members.

New York City Young Professionals Kiwanis teamed up with Soldiers’ Angels and adopted it's first soldier in March 2009. Through the Adopt-a-Soldier program we sent weekly letters and one care package each month throughout the duration of the soldier's tour in Iraq. As of September 2009, we are happy to announce that our adopted soldier successfully completed her duties oversees and made her safe return home.

Following the success of our first adoption, NYCYP Kiwanis adopted our second soldier in October 2009. We continue to collect letters and care package items at our monthly club meetings. Each package is assembled with donated candy, snacks, toiletries, etc to help our adopted soldier overseas and send a message of gratitude.
