Nothing reminds a Canadian Forces member of home, than a care package! We encourage families to talk to your member before he/she leaves for their tour about what they would like in a welcome package. Sometimes homemade treats, or even local magazines and newspapers can make home feel a lot closer.
Don’t know what to send? Contact the MFRC and we will send you a list compiled by families who have had a deployed soldier.
It is important to put your packages together within the Canada Post guidelines.
Please note depending on the time of year, parcels can take 4-6 weeks for delivery.
