The
Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members
of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent
Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review,
been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis
that they meet the highest standards of public accountability,
program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards
include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the
Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in
the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United
States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent,
meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have
been awarded this
Seal.

Welcome to the Landstuhl
Hospital Care Project! |
|
|
|
The Landstuhl Hospital Care
Project (LHCP) is a non-profit organization that provides
comfort and relief items for military members who become sick,
injured, or wounded from service in Iraq, Kuwait, and
Afghanistan. Donated items are distributed to patients at
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in Germany, the
largest American military hospital outside the U.S.; to field
hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq; and to
VA facilities
throughout the United States.
Donations to LRMC are done
through the Wounded Warrior Ministry Center. This allows all
in-patients, out-patients, LRMC liaisons, LRMC nurses, and
medical escorts access to supplies. The purpose of the
program is to enhance the morale and welfare for troops and
veterans by contributing quality of life items.
Each shipment that LHCP sends is sent
in honor of a military member who has made the ultimate
sacrifice and lost his or her life in service to our country.
Hospital staff report that when patients learn that they and
their fallen service members are remembered "back home,"
spirits are lifted. As one nurse wrote in an e-mail, "It's a
reminder that what we do is not in vain. It means a lot to the
guys that are back there recovering —
it helps them know they are not alone."
