Sandi Carstensen, Founder & National Coordinator

Operation Support for Deployed Military (OSFDM) was founded in response to requests from active service personnel deployed overseas to sustain Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom, Iraq. Our intent is to send a little piece of home to our troops to let them know that they have not been forgotten.

Operation Support Pillowcase began with the response to a request from a loved one for a dark pillowcase. One pillowcase led to another and another. With the support of on-line quilting friends, pillowcases led to Christmas stockings and to quilts, or Cuddle-Ups, for newborn patriots. Our sewing angels, as we have come to know them, work year round to answer the call for these homemade items. . We invite you to read the Introduction to learn more about OSFDM.

Operation Support for Deployed Military depends on people like you to donate their time, talent, money and materials to create these items and to supply the goodies that are put into stockings. If you would like more information about these projects or if you would like to volunteer to help us meet these special requests from our troops, please send an email to quiltnweave@cis.net

You are also invited to Join our Yahoo chat forum.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who are volunteering their time and resources to send a touch of home to our troops overseas.
