The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.  These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world.  Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.  

 

 

How to Help             

Every month, donations of money or items requested by the hospitals we serve help us prepare our shipments. Such contributions will be very much appreciated by all those that are serving under the Red, White, and Blue.

Perhaps you represent a civic organization or school that wants to organize a drive or fundraiser on our behalf. Church groups, Boy Scout troops, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and auxiliary units, and Blue Star Mothers groups have been regular organizers of such efforts.

If you want to send a monetary donation, please make your check payable to Landstuhl Hospital Care Project and send it to:

Items to Support LRMC
for June 2009

The Wounded Warrior Ministry Center (WWMC) is an entity within LRMC Pastoral Services that cares for the needs of wounded and ill service members medevac’d from the GWOT.  The WWMC provides items of comfort to “fill holes” until the service member’s personal items can catch up with them in the military healthcare system. 

The WWMC services more than 750 service members each month. 

Please follow the below list to a "T" as this prevents our hospitals and medics from a crisis situation with storage of unusable items.

Please do not send hotel toiletries as we have no contacts that are requesting them.  It is a expense to ship these to us and for us to have to dispose of them.  If and when LRMC does request toiletries they are travel size and not HOTEL size items. Thank you.

As this list will be updated frequently please do not pass this list on to another person or group. Please have them check the web site for the most current list of items.
