Rachel Cunningham, a former Army Reserve nurse began helping by sending one care package to an Army Friend Serving in Afghanistan. Paul Marshall, a retired Naval Officer and Vietnam War Veteran decided a long time ago that he would devote himself to helping other servicemen and veterans in any way he could. Together, they started the non-profit organization, Cypress Cares for Our Troops.

Cypress Cares for Our Troops has shipped several thousand care packages to troops overseas in any remote, harsh and unfriendly area. The cost for each care package is $13 to $15 and with around 2,000 care packages to send out regularly, costs can run up to $30,000.

To help offset this cost, Cypress Cares held an annual golf tournament on Sunday, May 15th at the Longwood Golf Course in Cypress.

Cypress Cares strives to continue making no troop feel they are forgotten by continuing to ship packages until everyone comes home.
