Kari Tervo collecting Zines for Troops! donations at the Riverside DIY Print Fest, May 26, 2013

Zines for Troops is a volunteer project managed by Kari Tervo. Its purpose is to donate zines to United States military members and injured veterans in order to promote effective leisure time. Additional goals are to increase understanding among U.S. citizens and to show military members the personal work of citizens they enlisted to defend. Zines for Troops! operates under the infrastructural auspices of Operation Paperback, a non-profit organization.

Conceptualized in May, 2013 by Tervo, Zines for Troops! has collected over 350 zine donations to date. Contributors are located throughout the United States and Canada. Zines have been sent to military locations around the world.

Donations have represented a varied spectrum of zines. They fall into general categories such as perzines, travel, poetry, technology, sexuality, health, and more.

Contributors receive two custom 1-inch buttons and their name on an Honor Roll on We Make Zines.
