Five Kroger stores in the Dallas, TX area, along with the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, are holding a one-day collection drive on Saturday, February 22 for our military troops serving overseas. Donations of products and cash (for postage) will be accepted from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM at the 5 stores below.
The donations will be packed in care packages that will primarily be shipped to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in Afghanistan. Volunteers at the 5 stores will have a wish list of needed items, such as nuts, snacks, crackers, shelf-stable microwavable meals, disposable razors, body wash, shampoo, eye drops, foot powder, and other food and toiletry items. Volunteers from the Hebron High School NJROTC and the Young Men's Service League will also be assisting.
