Welcome

Supporting our Heroes from home, so they can win the War overseas!

Last updated   Jan 24th, 2012



Welcome to a New Year ! 
We are thrilled to see troops  coming home  from Iraq. We are sad to see many more deploy out  to Africa, Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East. Please do not think they do not need our support. They still need to know we care and  they are still in combat areas  fighting for freedom!

Unfortunately  with the new year brings new postage rates. As of  Jan 22nd  a lg flate rate box will cost $13.45  to mail to all FPO and APO addresses.



We update our web site often. Please visit often for the most current  information, pictures, letters, and more!


US Troop Support Foundation has chapters in both Kansas City, Mo and  Houston, Texas metro areas.


US Troop Support Foundation is a non profit, non political  Grass roots 501 (c) (3) foundation.

Also known as USTSF, US Troop Support Foundation was started in Jan 2003 by the parents of a young Marine deploying. Initially a small group of friends and family, then to a parented foundation, then in 2006 to a non profit public foundation standing on its own.

US Troop Support Foundation is an all volunteer foundation.  No one  gets paid.  USTSF keeps  more than 99%   going to the program, supporting the troops!


USTSF  supports all branches  and  is happy to add any  military person serving in a combat area to our list.
All military persons information is kept Private and  confidential. Only Our Directors and approved volunteers have access.

To add a spouse, friend, or loved one serving in a  combat area, please
 click on 
ustsassistance@aol.com  
and send an email to Linda.
Please include  their name, rank,
branch, address, and expected due
date to return home.


 As of Jan 2009 :   We will no longer be listed with America Supports You, a DOD   site.

America Supports You was under investigation and found  to have misaprropriated  more than 9 million dollars in funds. WE  DO NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANYONE that would do that to our Troops!  Please copy and paste the following link  and read  the news article on this. 

 We tried for 6 months to contact someone, anyone , at ASY  to see what was going on and could get no contact. More than 6 months later they reorganized and contacted us.   This is not satisfactory !  WE CHOSE TO DROP  OFF THEIR LIST ! 

Unfortunately we do NOT  have educational grants or assistance available.

We are listed on KC BBB  web site. We meet all but one standard  of the BBB.  Our Accounting is done by a CPA ( outside of our  volunteers)  who donates  his time.  The  BBB  also requires an independent  audit. These cost about  $4000 and up. We choose to use that money on our troops.
We are a public foundation and our 990  is open to the public and posted online below! We keep the  last 2 years  posted here. We will also gladly provide a hard copy to anyone who asks , free of charge !
 


Our 2011  Form 990  should be available  no later than May 31st, 2012 online  below!
We are still keeping more than 99%  going to the Troops!
