Gabrielle Giffords Troops Care Package Drive

Pima Dems HQ- Official Drop-Off Location
Now through June 15th

As you know, Gabrielle has spent her career fighting for our troops, veterans, and military families. As one of the only military spouses in Congress and as a member of the House Armed Forces Committee, she understands just how important support for our military is. This Memorial Day, as she is focused on the fight of her life—to recover and get back to her work—we want to honor those fighting for us.

To that end, Giffords For Congress will be holding a Troops Care Package Drive through June 15th.

Items that our troops abroad need are listed below.
