Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful organization that I hope many will take part in again this year. Our own extended family of children.....
Please consider putting together a care package for one of our brave young men or women this holiday season. Packages must be sent by the beginning of next week (the 16th) to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas. FR has quite a few prior posts that list wonderful suggetions for what to include, ping me if you need help with ideasor help finding a person to send to.
These are our children, folks, away from home and fighting on our behalf. For about $25 you can fill a nice little box and for anouther $6-8 you can ship it off. This relatively small investment of time and money will take the edge off of being away from home during this time of year. Remember the reason for the season and show our kids that santa delivers even in the sand.
Can't address packages "to any soldier"
