Their Angels has a partnership with Operation Interdependence (OI) who perform the duty of organizing the transportation of our packages to the troops.
 Operation Interdependence® is a 501C3 non profit “Civilian to Military Delivery System®” founded by a former 26 year Marine logistics warrant officer. His goal was to find a way to support troops with a minimal impact on the military delivery system. OI® was formed to do just that by sending enough C-Rats® also known as Civilian Rations® in a 12 inch cube box to commanders so no one gets left out; for many it is the only communication they receive from home.
OI® functions year round, war and peace, home and abroad, ministering to deployed as well as those at home, with oversized products going to military families, VA hospitals and other veteran’s groups.
Nationwide, Operation Interdependence ®ships 300 plus boxes a month. It is OI’s ® expressed mission to support each and every military member during their deployment. At any given time the U.S. has as many as ¼ million troops stationed somewhere in the world. OI® has 12 units across the U.S. from California to Florida and growing.
OI® being “A Civilian-to-Military Delivery System”® means getting communities involved in all aspects of supporting the troops. OI® survives on donations, from the all important note to the products that go into the C-Rats®, and money for the postage. Everyone in the organization is 100% volunteers with all funds going to postage and miscellaneous expenses.
Since launching in December 2001, OI® has delivered over 2 million C-rats®.
