Fill the Footlocker
As part of Mansquad’s community outreach, we are proud to host the “Fill the Footlocker” charity.
What is Fill the Footlocker?
Through Manquad’s 501c(7) Non-Profit Organization status, Fill the Footlocker aims to provide supplies and items to our active duty troops serving overseas. Through donations at local grocery stores, Mansquad members collect items and ship them to Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine bases in Afghanistan and Iraq in an effort to promote troop morale and show that they are in the hearts and minds of the American people.
Where do the proceeds go?
Mansquad is a registered 501c(7) Non-Profit Organization, and 100% of all proceeds collected via online donations and storefront collections go toward sending CARE packages to soldiers and sailors serving overseas.
How can I contribute?
If you would like to donate money to assist in the shipping of these packages, please use the “Paypal Donate” button below. All donations are tax-deductible. If you would like to participate in a “Fill the Footlocker” event at a local grocery store or would like to donate goods (from the list below), please contact donations@mansquad.com for information as to how and where you can help out.

Do you live outside Florida, but still want to help? Fill the Footlocker ships care packages only to addresses which have been provided by active duty military personnel. We are not authorized to share those overseas mailing addresses with any third party, but we would be happy to consolidate and ship your items for you! Simply box up and send items that meet the criteria above, and ship your package or packages to:
We will consolidate your donation and ship it out with our next major care package shipment. You will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation, as well as information about the unit who will be receiving your donation. When possible, we try to provide pictures as well.
