Care Packages for Troops ~ Deadline This Week!

Help spread a little holiday cheer to the servicemen and women that are over seas.  The deadline to get packages off to our troops in time for the Christmas holiday is Friday, November 12th.  These care packages are extremely important for our troops, especially this time of year.

Some examples of the items that are needed are soap, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, wipes, tissues, socks, powders, toothpaste, toothbrushes, candy, packages cookies, gum, small packages of snacks, books, writing materials, and any other small items you can think of.  Please keep in mind that these items need to fit in backpacks and no glass items will be excepted.

Drop off your donations at 1801 S. Washington Street or 300 W. Hutchinson Street.

For more information or to send something to a particular person, call Teresa Holland (358-1550) or Hilda Rodriguez (362-1231).

Special thanks to The American Legion Unity #274, the VFW Auxiliary #9170, along with local schools and churches for taking the time to show our servicemen and women that we are thinking of them and we are grateful for the sacrifice they have made.
