| Welcome to the website for the "SI Yellow Ribbon Campaign" www.siyellowribbon.com "SI Yellow Ribbon" is a completely volunteer and non-profit organization, started and ran by our small family in Southern Illinois. We are dedicated to filling needs and wants of overseas military by sending care packages, cards and letters. Since we formed in March of 2003 we have successfully sent to thousands of troops! What started as a "SI" (Southern Illinois) campaign has now gone National, supporting military originally from East to West coast serving overseas. We will be here as long as the need exists, but we need your help! We need to show them we still care! Please do not give up on our military still serving and don't take those yellow bows down just yet, we want to see ALL our troops come home!!!! |
| *URGENT REQUEST - WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! We stay in DESPERATE need of postage funding! The names for new package requests and current needs and wants from those in our database are FAR exceeding what we are getting in donations. Please consider asking everyone in your office to donate $1 to the troops, having your school do a bake sale, any type of fundraisers will be MUCH appreciated!!! Also, consider purchasing some of our "support items" (link above), as the proceeds will benefit our postage fund as well! EVERY single dollar counts!!! If you are unable to contribute a monetary donation, please consider our "Stamps 4 Soldiers" effort above! |
