i-Newswire.com - Press Release And News Distribution - Sending charitable donations via MPS prohibited: "RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFPN) -- Each year, the Department of Defense plays a huge role in delivering relief supplies and assisting in relief operations worldwide. For people overseas who want to contribute, the problem is getting the package where it needs to be.

i-Newswire, 2005-05-21 - However, the military postal service is not an option, said U.S. Air Forces in Europe postal officials. Sending charitable contributions through Air Mobility Command or through the MPS is prohibited.

In Europe, organizations within the command raised money and supplies for the victims of the recent tsunami. The only problem was getting the items to the victims without using the military postal system, said Matt Haacker, USAFE�s postal functional area manager.
