The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, along with some great volunteers from the Dallas Area Young Lawyers Association, State Farm, Citi and other Dallas area volunteers packed about 360 care package boxes on June 7, 2014. The care packages will be going to our U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and will reach Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. Many of the donations came from our recent Kroger collections. Thanks Kroger, and all those who have donated to support our military.
Everyone worked hard at the packing party, but were grateful for the chance to show some appreciation for our troops serving overseas. Items shipped included toiletries, microwavable foods, socks, hygiene items, snacks, drink mixes and all kinds of other assorted items. The total postage cost of the shipment was slightly over $8,000, so we always appreciate anyone who can help us with financial donations.
Below are some photos of the hard working volunteers at our packing party. Click on images to enlarge.
