As a result of our September packing party, we shipped 165 care package boxes to our troops overseas on September 27. The care packages went to 5 units. Total postal costs were over $2,200.
On September 29, another 30 boxes of goods were shipped to one of our contacts (chaplain's assistant) in Afghanistan.
The next big packing party is scheduled for November 17, 2010. Christmas themed items will be shipped along with other regularly requested goods. Funding for postage is our greatest need right now. Any donations for our postage costs will be greatly appreciated.
For those that have recently donated for our care packages, your contributions mean so much to the soldiers and enable us to continue to ship care packages to our soldiers overseas. Thanks.
How can you help our nonprofit send care packages to some of the most remote of the roughly 150,000 U.S. military troops serving overseas in 2024?
