New England Caring for our Military Inc. (NECFOM) was founded by James Wareing on September 7, 2004. Our Federal Tax ID number for our 501(C)3 charity organization is 20-1597136. The current director is Denise Clegg. 

As of July 13, 2010, NECFOM has shipped 27,455 care packages containing products collected by students, seniors,churches and other organizations valued over $751,000 to our deployed troops. Additionally, NECFOM has mailed more than 64,025 cards and letters to our troops utilizing more than 18,540 volunteers made up of students and civic organizations throughout the New England area.  

New England Caring for our Military helps these organizations who gather these products by offering to pay for packaging and postage to ship them overseas.  This enables many organizations to have their own fundraising activities to support our troops and not have to worry about the cost of buying boxes and paying postage.

NECFOM has recently expanded our activities to also help families when they are notified of a death of a loved one who was on active duty as a result of their service in the military. NECFOM can offer to assist with the funeral planning, making of church bulletins and also to help provide and set up a mercy meal for up to 200 people free of charge.   NECFOM finds this time of distress for the families is very difficult so please contact us if you know of anyone in need who are in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. 

Our Mission:

To boost the morale of our brave men and women serving in our Armed Services by sending care packages, writing letters and otherwise showing support.
