Lending a Hand PDF  | Print |  E-mail

As many of you know, every year we have adopted a family for Thanksgiving (or participated in a canned food drive) and a family for Christmas. This year will be in the same spirit – however we have adopted deployed soldiers instead of families.

 

For Thanksgiving and for Christmas, we will be sending care packages to 5 separate deployed personal (10 soldiers total).

 

What does this mean to you? Well – we can use every person here to make these care packages just a little bit better. We have a general list of items that are requested and you can help by either purchasing an item or two or by donating $10 into the pot for purchasing the requested items. We are also looking for letters to the soldiers showing that there are people back home that care about them and are grateful for their defense of our well being.

 

Please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have any questions. The wish list is posted below and all items can be dropped off at the Nov meeting.

The Thanksgiving packages will be sent out by November 10th and the Christmas packages by December 8th.

 

We appreciate your help as much as the soldiers appreciate your support.
