Molly's Adopt A Sailor is a non-profit (501c3) organization which has for the past two years solely self-supported sending letters & cards, pen pal correspondence, care packages, adopting our men and women who have no one back home and travel to welcome home our arriving troops. Molly's Adopt A Sailor supports all branches of the military.

The impact Molly's Navy moms have on U.S. soldiers is often humbling. One Navy Chief wrote "I am at a loss for words as to the response from everyone across our great nation that helped out with the mail campaign that was put on for my guys, I've been in the military for over 17 years, and have never seen a response like this." Another Marine wrote, "I know a pillowcase may seem like a small ticket item in today's world, but I was using a sweatshirt as a pillowcase before. Thank you!"

Small things to a deployed Marine, Soldier or Sailor can mean more than you know. Molly's motto is simple, "Molly's Adopt A Sailor - We Ship Love - Sending a little bit of home in every package." For more information, please visit Molly's Adopt a Sailor at www.MollysAdoptASailor.com.
