On April 5, 2025, the Carepacks board and volunteers gathered at the organization’s warehouse in South Weymouth to pack 334 boxes for deployed U.S. service members. The effort marked a major milestone—the mailing of Carepacks’ 35,000th package since its founding.
Every item was donated or purchased through community contributions, reflecting the generosity and commitment of supporters. For 21 years, Carepacks, a 501(c) nonprofit charity, has shipped care packages five times a year, each box thoughtfully packed to provide comfort and a reminder of home.
Run entirely by volunteers with no paid board members, Carepacks continues its mission to show service members far from home that they are appreciated, supported, and remembered.
