US Troop Support Foundation and 106-5 The WOLF proudly support The Hometown Heroes Fun Fund! The Fund, begun by an anonymous donor who wanted to help troops get reacclimated to Kansas City life after being in combat, awards small “dream packs” to returning men and women for activities they enjoy and have missed while away. It could be anything from tickets to a sporting event, dinner with friends, going to the movies with the family and a variety of other things! If you’d like to nominate a returning troop, please log on to www.1065 thewolf.com and tell us about them. 106-5 The WOLF’s Darren, Tim & Codie randomly award gifts from the Fund to returning men and women on the air Monday through Friday between 5 and 10 a.m. Please note that the troop awarded a gift from the Fund must have a valid military ID and deployment papers showing return home from a combat area or DD214 showing overseas combat tour or overseas combat orders to redeem their gift. (DD214’s can be used within 30 days of ETS/EAS).

If you or your business is interested in making a donation to the Hometown Heroes Fun Fund and helping our men and women in uniform enjoy something they missed while away, please click the DONATE link at the bottom of this page and note “FUN FUND” in the specifications section. Your donation is greatly appreciated! For further questions, please contact Linda with USTS at 816-224-4729 or Allison with The WOLF at 913-744-3829.

We also get many lists  requesting  items that can be handed out to the locals. We  focus mainly on our troops.  However we are not there and we we do not judge items they ask for. If we can help, we do.


 Troops  are always in need of
AT & T Global phone cards.  We ask
that these be purchased at  a
 Post Exchange or Base Exchange
or  through aafes.  The reason for
 this is these cards are under
government contract when
purchased  through the exchange.
  The troops  are charged 3 to 1  on
 these cards.  On other cards  they
 are  charged a surcharge
 plus  5 to 1 on minutes. 
 

 

   You can also order these cards  on line at  https://thor.aafes.com/scs/product.aspx
and have them sent direct to
 you or us.

Aafes  Gift cards  are also wonderful
for Troops and families of those serving!




  Please contact US  Troop Support via email at   ustsassistance@aol.com  or 
by phone at 816-224-4729 for a current list of needed items.  We receive  new requests everyday!
