host a heroday
and gather together
in person
Gather in-person with your group to support our heroes by packing HeroBoxes!
-
Your group gathers in person for a HeroBox team-building event to support our heroes. You choose how many heroes you want to support and if you will be gathering your own items or having us provide them. Once you know the date of your event and how many heroes you want to support you will register on the website and then go into your profile and create your event. We will then contact you and help with setup.
-
You can select items from your hero’s wish list, or from our list of commonly requested items. Both can be found in your account. Your group can raise or purchase the items, or we can procure them for you.
-
You can download the shipping labels in your account, or we can mail them to you. Our software combines everything you need on one small label. Just tape it on the box and schedule a pickup!
-
Yes, you can select your heroes, or we can auto-assign the heroes from our “Next in Line” system.

It depends on the size of your event. For smaller events (under 20 heroes sponsored) where you are supplying the items yourself, everything happens on your end and you don’t need a lot of lead time. If you are doing a larger event (over 20 heroes) and want us to supply items and support a unit, we ask that you give us at least 3 weeks to order the supplies and get them to you.
Virtually
Gather your team together virtually and build HeroBoxes online, or pack them individually at home!
-
Your group will gather together for a virtual team-building event. You can either shop for items and grab a box before the event and all pack simultaneously, or you can build boxes online together. Either way your team is taking time out of their daily tasks to do something wonderful for our deployed heroes.
-
Yes, you can select your heroes, or we can assign them to your group. We have a "next in line" system where heroes are listed based on need. You can select a hero from anywhere on the list.
-
If you are packing a HeroBox at home, you will need a USPS medium or large flat rate box. You will also need to procure some of the items from their wish list. If you building boxes online, you won’t need any supplies.
-
If you are packing a HeroBox, you will use the provided code to print a shipping label in your account. You can drop off your HeroBox(es) at the post office or schedule a pickup. If you are building a HeroBox online, our Amazon partnership will pack and ship it for you!
-
If you are packing a HeroBox, the postage is approximately $20. You can pay for this and issue a checkout code to your participants. If you are building a box online, the postage is included.
