It’s already a couple of months into the school year and your child is probably just about settled in their dorm, used to the day to day class schedule, and trying to get to know people. It can be a difficult process as a new student and even sometimes can continue to be, even if it isn’t their freshman year. Short of visiting, sending a college care package from OCM is one of the best things you can do to support your child while they are away.

When Midterms or Finals Hit
Whether it’s the middle of the semester or the end of it, your child is probably dealing with a lot of stress. They are studying day and night, finishing up long papers and projects and probably could use a little encouragement. Sending a finals week care package is the perfect way to show them you are thinking of them and know they are going to ace everything! Plus, a great care package will give them the snacks and things they need to get through long studying hours.
When They Are Feeling Homesick
Maybe the last time you spoke on the phone, your child sounded a little down. It can be hard to be away from home, especially if they never have before. When it seems they might be a little said from not being home, send them a care package with their favorite treats or with things that remind them of where they are from.
When they’ve Done Something Grea
tDid they just ace a class? Finish a major project? Get into an exclusive program? Whatever their achievements may be, getting recognized for it is even better. Send your scholar one of OCM’s gift baskets for college students to show them you are proud of them and to celebrate! It’s not something they’ll be expecting but it will definitely make them feel their efforts have been worth it.
For Their Birthday
Especially if their birthday is mid-semester and they won’t be home to celebrate, sending a birthday care package for college students will make them feel connected to their family. Sure, they might be heading out with their roommate and a couple of friends to do something special, but to come back to a package from mom & dad would just be icing on the cake!
Just BecauseSometimes, no reason is needed at all. A surprise care package for any occasion can mean the world to them, especially if it is for no reason than “just because.”
