On Saturday, April 27, 2017, the members of the Highland Park High School National Honors Society came together to create their own packing party for the troops. The students organized everything! They collected the items to send, raised funds for all the shipping costs, and will take the 369 boxes to the post office to mail them to twenty-four units that are servicing overseas. This has become an annual event for them. We love partnering with this awesome group!
Here are some photos from the event.

We greatly appreciate the support of all the individuals, organizations and businesses who help us ship care packages to American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines serving overseas.
