Special Instructions for Gander

Thanks to the generosity of CFB Gander, all families with a member deployed overseas or to CFS Alert can send care packages free of charge to their deployed member.

Some Reminders: 

• Remember to plan in advance for those special occasions as mail overseas may take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to arrive at its destination. 
• Boxes are available at the front desk of the GMFRC so please feel free to drop by and pick some up. 
• Our parcel drop off location is the Gander Military Family Resource Centre. If this still don’t work for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll do our best to make sure your package gets to your loved one! 
• We recommend that expensive items NOT be sent in the event that a package arrives damaged. 
• Brainstorm ideas that will be easy for your loved one to bring back home with them as they already have a lot of equipment and bags returning home with them. 
• Please be advised that vapourizers are not permitted in parcels for deployed members, as they are considered a tobacco product.
