A big thanks to the Carrollton Kroger supermarket for their support of our Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas collection drive last weekend. We collected about 80 large cartons of goods for our soldiers care packages.
In addition to the generous Kroger customers, Fisher Elementary School and the Student Veterans Organization of UT-Arlington donated goods and cash for the troops. These donations will help greatly with our Christmas care packages going out this month.
Albertsons, through their Community Partners Challenge, and The Allstate Foundation have recently provided some much-needed financial donations, which will greatly help with our shipping costs.
The great employees of Citibank's Military Veterans Network recently held a ceremony in Irving honoring their military Veterans. All Veterans working for Citibank were treated to a catered lunch and recognized with a service pin and certificate. We were honored to be recognized at the ceremony and their financial donation is much appreciated.
Lipton Tea has also generously donated a full pallet of Lipton Tea Sticks. Thanks also to Community Coffee, as coffee is always one of the most requested items by the troops.
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?
