Care Packages and Cell Phones: Marty Novak
We sent 57 Care Packages in May. Thanks to all who came to help pack the boxes. These Care Packages mean so much to the Troops who receive them. Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us and the monetary donations and supplies given to us from members, nonmembers, groups and organizations and businesses of our community to help us keep this project going. Thank you all. It takes us all to do this.
Anyone is welcome to join us for Care Packages. It’s a lot of fun. Our next Care Package packing day is June 11. We arrive about 10:30 to start arranging the supplies and start packing shortly after that. It takes about an hour to finish.
CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS
We are still collecting used cell phones. These are sent for recycling and provide calling cards for our Troops. There is a collection container in the entry way of the Post.
