ITEM DONATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE!! We do not accept any items donations outside of our Amazon Wish List. To make a donation, just pick an item on our list and it will be sent directly to US War Dogs. Please remember to include your name and address when sending a wish list donation so we can provide a tax receipt for you.
Since the wish list has specially designated military-approved donation items, please do not try to send anything outside of the Wish List as it may not be approved for military use or for shipment to war zones.
We continue to receive individual donations outside the Amazon Wish List despite our request not to do so, including soiled, damaged, expired, dangerous and military-banned donation items featured in our Donation List of Horrors. For this reason, only Amazon Wish List items will be accepted.
Go to the Fundraiser page for information on hosting a fundraising event to benefit US War Dogs Chapter 1.
