Doing it under the arony's *name* isn't going to be a problem. It's with the Barony's *funds* that you're going to run into some pretty strict guidelines. Speaking as somebody who happens to be reeve for another group the one unbreakable rule is that any expense (in this case mailing costs) must show substantial benefit to the exempt purpose of the SCA. (pg 22, Exchequer's Handbook v2003.) The SCA's  purpose is the study of the Middle Ages and the Rennaissance. Generally speaking we can't give /pay money that benefits private companies or individuals unless we are getting an item or service back htat the group will use to further hte SCA's purpose ( portapotties for an event, pavillions for the Barony, rent for a group mailbox etc.) SO off the top of my head I'd say we
 (Raven's Fort) cannot reimburse anyone mailing costs for these care packages BUT we can pass the hat at Populace. My two cents...
