how it started
Built by a Veteran. Carried Forward with Heart.
Hero Care Packages was founded by U.S. Navy veteran Jack Wray with a clear mission: to make it easy for family and friends to send care packages that deployed service members actually want and need.
“When we pulled into port, sailors would wait in line for hours—just for the chance to receive a package,” Jack recalls. “But what broke my heart was seeing the sailors who didn’t get anything… or received boxes filled with things they couldn’t use. Sending a care package was confusing and time-consuming. I wanted to change that.”
Hero Care Packages was born to fix that problem. We created a model that makes sending thoughtful, useful, and personalized care packages simple and stress-free. You can build your own box with handpicked items or let us handle everything for you. Either way, we take care of the APO and FPO logistics—making sure your gift gets to the hero you love.

How it's going
A New Chapter – Same Mission
Today, Hero Care Packages continues under the leadership of Debbie and Alex, who are proud to carry on Jack’s legacy. We dedicate our work to our fathers, John Pietro and Victor Quintana, both of whom served with honor.
Every care package we send is a tribute—not just to those who serve, but to the families and friends who stand behind them.
Thank you for supporting us on this journey.
