COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Operation Interdependence Logo. How can a small staff of dedicated volunteers literally serve an army? Operation Interdependence® does it with Endicia.

OI®, the premier Civilian-to-Military Delivery System in the US, enables people stateside to send personal notes and treats to those on the frontlines, without impacting military resources. For some, this is the only communication they receive from home. From 13 US distribution centers, OI ships civilian rations to over 50,000 platoons.

Each OI participant, after registering and being security checked, encloses a note and treats in a quart-sized bag (with $1 for postage when possible), and gives the bag to an OI coordinator. Once 50 bags are collected, the coordinator packs them in a box and sends them to an OI Area Manager for inspection and screening. The box is then forwarded to a platoon when it deploys. According to OI VP, Jane Schwartz, “Endicia has reduced the time to prepare packages for shipment by 600%, saving us 83% in cost."

OI is well on its way to achieving its goal – to supply each serviceman and woman with some treats and a letter from home each month.

F.A.Q.
Q.  Why do I get the error: "state not recognized" on a domestic address?
A.  Having US, USA, or United States in the last two address lines can cause this error. The country is not needed for domestic mail - remove from the address.
