Because Supporting Your Troops Means More Than Putting a Magnet On Your Car
Please join us in sending needed and requested items to our troops serving overseas. Most Americans do not know that our government DOES NOT supply our troops with sanitary, entertainment or sporting items.
That's right, no soap, toothpaste, deodorant, feminine items, floss toothbrushes, bug repellant. snacks, or other needed and wanted items! Operation: A Bit Of Home supports Freedom Rest the only Rest and Relaxation facility in Iraq for our troops. The facility rotates 150 troops per day through the experience. Although it is in the INTERNATIONAL ZONE in Baghdad, it is constantly threatened by insurgent fire, and has been hit and damaged. The troops that are chosen to visit Freedom Rest have recently been under fire and in combat, and need time away from the fighting.
In our first year of operation, we supplied needed and requested items to over 23,000 US Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. We are in our 3rd year and sending more and more all the time. We have had a large roll in creating the largest DVD and CD lending library for our troops in the country, and several smaller ones! We also are building libraries in Afghanistan
Your donated goods are sent to every corner of war zones reaching troops in tents and outlying bases via convoys .

Operation: A Bit Of Home is not making a statement on supporting the war, but showing our support for our Troops. We are not political. We do not lobby or endorse anyone. Our only goal is to provide needed items to the soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Monetary donations pay for postage and expenses. We have no overhead. NO ONE gets paid. We are all volunteers.
The easiest way to help is to ask all of your friends, family, and co-workers to visit our site!
Hello! We are Ken & Angel Meyer. Ken founded "Operation:A Bit of Home" while Angel was serving in Iraq in 2004. As a group, we have sent thousands of boxes to Iraq. The purpose of this page is to inform you of the needs of our troops. We tell you:
