We wish to thank four Dallas area Kroger stores (Denton, Little Elm, Carrollton and Frisco) for helping the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas collect care package donations on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend! We had a great response from the generous Kroger customers and wish to thank everyone who helped us out.
The product donations will re-stock our inventory for our summer care package shipments, going mainly to the estimated 32,000 U.S. military troops in Afghanistan. And the cash donations will help with our greatest need ... postage expenses. We greatly appreciate all the individuals, businesses and organizations who continue to support our military care package mission. And we especially thank the members of our U.S. Armed Forces, past and present, who have served our country with honor.
Below are 5 photos of our collection drive this weekend. With the support of our generous donors, our all-volunteer nonprofit is planning on shipping over 800 large care packages (approximately $15,000 in postage costs) this summer to U.S. Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen.
