Charities Programs

Overseas Coupon Program: sending manufacturers coupons to American service men and women who are stationed overseas. The coupons can be used at the base PX for up to six months after the expiration date. The Overseas Coupon Program has their own website at http://ocpnet.org/, which is linked off the Starfleet website at http://www.sfi.org.

The Starfleet Stampede collects and sells to stamp dealers used stamps which members clip from envelopes and send in. The money is then used to support medical research.

The USS Czar'ak awards promotion points to crew members who turn in coupons, stamps and UPC's, as well as pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.
