Questions? Scroll down to view our FAQs.
How do I send a box?
The first step is to follow the “register now” button and create a sponsor account with our system. From there you will select a Hero from our Next In Line list and click to either pack or build a box. The pop up instructions will walk you through it.
Do I have to send everything on the wishlist?
No! You can send as much or as little as you like from the wishlist. Those items are simply what is requested personally, but you are welcome to send whatever you want. Our heroes are grateful for anything you send.
How do I know if my hero received my box?
Once you have purchased your shipping label, you will have access to tracking information as well as a way to message your hero directly. It is always a good idea to reach out to say hello and verify that they are still at their APO and can receive packages.
How do I mail my box? Where do I find the address?
When you select a hero and choose to pack a box at home you will be prompted to purchase a shipping label. This is a fully filled out and addressed label for a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box. You will simply download the PDF of the label, print it, tape it to your box and drop it off at the Post Office (or schedule a pickup).
Where do i get the box to mail the items in?
Our shipping labels are good for USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes available for free through the United States Postal Service. You will purchase a shipping label for a medium or large box, you can go to the post office and pick up the box for free, or have the USPS send it to you for free.
WHat if the items I bought don’t fit in the box?
We encourage you to take note of the box size before you shop for the items to ensure that your items will fit. Box dimensions are on the pop up instructions when purchasing a shipping label. If your items don’t fit you can save them for a future box or purchase an additional label.
Will my shipping label expire?
Yes! Shipping labels expire after 30 days to prevent mail fraud. Please take note of your label and make sure to get it dropped off within 30 days. We will send you a reminder if you are getting close to an expired label.
Help! I’m still confused, what do i do?
We are available to help with any questions. Just email us at info@herobox.org or click on the help chat bubble on the website. A real person will get back to you within 24 hours during the week.

The HeroBoxes arrived on Friday and it was like Christmas in March!!! I handed them out and I've never seen people so happy! Thank you!
Christina Sutton
I just signed up. My hubby is active duty and has been deployed 3 times to Iraq. I wish I had know about this years before. Thank you for all you do!
Amanda Millard
This has been one of the most rewarding projects I've been involved with. My 3yo son likes helping out with the boxes and writing his name on the letters!
Christina Ashley
My friend and I decided to use HeroBox as our senior project and have sponsored a unit of 30 soldiers in Afghanistan. I am so happy to be helping out our heroes!
Autumn Kohlieber

Seeing the care packages from you never ceases to put a smile on my face. So on behalf of the entire 965th EAACS, thank you from the bottom of our heart!
Been doing it for a little over 3 years and we love being able to show others that we care. Have had several Heroes now and become good friends with one of them. It really is a great program!

Just got my first herobox ready to ship. Very excited! This is an amazing cause!

We sent our first HeroBox in Jan, about to send our second. Just received a letter in the mail from our solider! Thank you!

Our family is adopting 4 heroes! We have family that served in ww2 and Vietnam. We are proud to serve these heroes.

This is my third deployment and it seems that support from the home front has dwindled. Its refreshing to see that there are still groups like these to support us.
James Lesco
My soldier has a similar background as me and we've developed a wonderful relationship. I am truly bless to have found this organization!

Thank you HeroBox! My husband got his first HeroBox over the weekend! He was thrilled!
Mary Ellison
I think it's awesome what HeroBox does. I have 150 soldiers in my unit and not even a quarter of them are married. Single soldiers who really need an org like this. Thank you for your support!
Stephanie Owens, 20th EN BN HHC
I just signed up and can't wait to go shopping! What a great way to give back!
Casandra Gray
What an incredible blessing to receive all your boxes. We had exactly enough for each of our single Airmen! We put their names on the boxes, wrapped them up, and placed them under the tree!
Capt. Maria Quinn
What a joy to have a hero in my life. Richard is in Iraq and is so appreciative and thoughtful. The boxes are fun to fill and send. If you don't have a hero, look up the site and join us!
Carol Wong
Trust me, receiving a package, even once a month while deployed is the best feeling ever!
CS3 Kalia Vang
I was able to meet and spend two days of my vacation with my Hero who returned home earlier this year!
