Dylan (age 12) founder of Cod Cares for the Troops |
 |
Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops is a non-profit
501(c)(3) organization started in 2005 by 12 year old Dylan DeSilva. Dylan wanted to find a way to honor our troops for their service, dedication and sacrifices to our country. With the help of his family and friends he sends care packages to our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan on a weekly basis.
Over 39,000 care packages have been sent to our deployed troops.
We also have programs to support our veterans,
military families and provide support for the Care Givers of our wounded
warriors. We also send canine care packages to our military dogs. |
