We've updated our Stack Up Supply Crate FAQ! We have received over 6000 requests in the past 2 weeks and it will take us at least a year to process them all at our current rate, as such, please do not email or DM us about the receipt of your application as we need to be able to get through all of the applications and emails. Asking us about the status of your requests is slowing down our ability to do that.

Q: How do you do giveaways for your Supply Crates? How long does it take to receive one?

A: Stack Up’s gaming care packages, aka “Supply Crates” are not a giveaway. When someone is nominated for a Supply Crate, we look at their request and the story they tell us about themselves and prioritize based on factors such as mental and physical health needs, urgency, and how long someone has been waiting for their request to be fulfilled. Receiving one can take years as we now have over 6000 requests and have been fulfilling ~250 per year. However, consoles and shipping are more expensive than before and we purchase every console that goes into a gaming care package. If you have submitted a request, please be patient, we will not contact you about a Supply Crate until we are shipping it out. Please check your spam inbox and make sure emails from @ stackup.org aren’t going there. by @stackupdotorg

Army Veteran Michael requested a Supply Crate because he was injured during his service, and gaming has helped him immensely in coping with his PTSD.
"I’m medically retired due to injuries I suffered in Iraq in 2008. I’m a former 11B, Purple Heart, and Combat Infantry Badge recipient. I was introduced to gaming in 2020 when covid hit and I’ve been in love ever since. I highly recommend playing games to all of my fellow veteran who suffer from PTSD. It had become a healthy source and I’ve formed health virtual relationships where I’m normally closed off."

Devin requested a Supply Crate to give himself a positive outlet after his service in the Army National Guard has left its mark on him physically and mentally.
"I have served 12 years in the Army National Guard as an mortarmen. I’ve completed two combat deployments to Afghanistan and Syria, where I faced the daily reality of incoming Rockets drone threats in burn pit, exposure. My job required carrying heavy mortar systems and working around constant blast pressure, which has left me with neck and back injury, tinnitus migraines, and some memory issues. The physical strain was only part of the challenge. The mental demands of deployment pushing through fear and staying focused for my soldiers left lasting effects. I continue to deal with PTSD anxiety and I've been having a lot of troubles keep mine occupied so I have sleeping issues too., which affect both my personal life and my service. Despite these struggles, I remain committed to my fellow Guardsmen. I mentor, support, and lead, because I know how much it matters to have someone who understands. What makes me and my group strong candidates for a Stack Up Supply Crate is not just our service, but our dedication to moving forward together while finding healthy ways to cope. A Supply Crate would mean far more than games or gear. It would give me a positive outlet for long nights and tough days, and for my group, it would strengthen our camaraderie and morale. It’s a reminder that we are not alone that others care about our wellbeing and want to support us through the challenges of service and beyond."

Army Veteran Michael requested a console because he wanted to be able to keep gaming with his fellow brothers-in-arms.
"I am a combat veteran of the Iraq war who uses gaming to support ongoing relationships and connection to my fellow brothers in arms who no longer live near by."
