Custom care packages are available upon request.Please call (949) 293-9784 or email carepackageexpress@cox.net for inquiries.

To order a care package, please email Care Package Express at carepackageexpress@cox.net or leave a voicemail for Kim at (949) 293-9784. When ordering, please provide your name, your student's name, student's mailbox number, student's email address, the care package selection and your return telephone number. Kim from Care Package Express will call you to confirm your order, and to process your credit card payment with MasterCard, Visa or Discover.
