Helping Our Troops (H.O.T.) is a program designed to support our American Hero’s from Massachusetts serving overseas.  We are an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity home based out of Stoneham, Massachusetts, U.S.A.  

WELCOME HOME!!!  10th Mountain Division's, Triple Duece, based out of Fort Drum, New York. 
Triple Duece returned home just in time for Christmas after a year's deployment in Afghanistan - 2010.

Our Mission is not political, we are here solely to send our love and support to our local soldiers while they are away from home and to provide them with the necessary items they are in need of while serving our country. 

Our Goal is to ship out as many care packages as possible to our troops on a monthly basis and we welcome you to join us!.  Volunteer opportunities await   those who would like to make a difference in a soldiers life.  Your support with this program will ensure the continuation of package deliveries throughout the year or until all our soldiers return home safely.   Contact us today to find out about the many ways you can help at 
helpingourtroopsma@gmail.com 

Our Accomplishments as of December 2006...we have supported over 21,000 soldiers maintaining 11 Combat Hospitals and 18 Chaplains in Iraq and Afghanistan.  As of July 2013 we have proudly shipped out over 65 TONS of goods to the soldiers we support overseas!

If you have a friend or family member from Massachusetts now serving in the military please let us know by visiting our “Package Request” page.

Sgt. Gustavo Nogueira, United States Army recently completed his 2nd tour in Iraq.  He is pictured above with an Iraqi boy.  Many of our service members have become friends with the children letting them know America is here to help them.   

Thank you to those who have made our program the success that  it is today.    The outpouring of support we have received for all our  soldiers from surrounding communities has been outstanding.
