Team Invisibles Baking Angels

Featuring Rachel Walter as our December Nominee
A little about Rachel and Team Invisibles
Rachel shares, "We are a small team of 14 MPs from 2 different Military Police Companies out of the Maryland Army National Guard. (The 200th MP Co. and the 290th MP Co.) We also have an additional 10 people from various other military units working with us. Our 2 MP companies deployed earlier this year to Afghanistan and we are all split up into similar small teams all over the country. Due to the nature of our mission, I can not disclose our exact location, hence Team Invisibles! We are here in response to the attacks of 9-11, to do our part in OEF and the war on terrorism."
Rachel is most appreciative of our Angel efforts as she writes, "Groups like yours remind us that our efforts are appreciated and warranted. The care packages that soldiers receive, especially when they are surprises from people we don't know, are always greatly appreciated and bring smiles and excitement to our day. Thank you for all that you are doing and have done for the military and your country!"
Mail to Rachel and Team Invisibles can take anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks for delivery. The items we ship must be able to handle this lengthier delivery time. Please keep this in mind if you are baking. She also mentions that they have a PX, so access to soap, razors, etc. are plentiful.
Rachel has a few suggestions...
Chips, pretzels, coffee, microwave meals like single serve ravioli or mac & cheese. They cannot cook anything, so must be microwavable.
Rachel writes, "Creamers and splenda go pretty quickly and we are always at a shortage of healthy snacks, as well. Whole grain crackers, turkey jerkey, freeze dried fruit, nuts. These guys really like surprises... so anything will be greatly appreciated."
For additional ideas, check out our Cindy's Baking Angels Wish-list on Amazon! In order to ship, you must be a registered team member and must wait until the shipping information is provided so that you can direct ship to Rachel.
