Quick answer
Community groups organising a care-package or deployment support drive for currently deployed personnel often use custom wristbands as a tangible fundraising and awareness item alongside their campaign.
A care package drive is usually run within a set window of time, and a wristband gives the campaign a visible, wearable presence throughout that period.
Why wristbands suit care package drives
A wristband gives supporters something to wear during a short-term campaign, extending its visibility beyond the collection points themselves.
How wristbands help deployment support campaigns
Schools, workplaces and community groups can use a wristband to give their drive a consistent identity while donations are being collected.
