Sure thing, fatima. Wanted to be sure Taz and you all know what a huge crowd of volunteers assembles to do this, and what a tiny part one person is. The Assembly Room at the Armory becomes a big crazy beehive boxing factory. It's really nuts. So I get a tiny part of it, which this last time was addressing customs forms. All other info has been typed on the form, we just write in the soldier name and addy, and sign it.
During past drives, I went on off days to sort donations, fold t-shirts (and then fold them again because we did it "wrong" the first time!), pushed boxes along the line to be filled and also assembled correspondence packets.
Every box receives a beautiful patriotic card from OpGratitude, a couple of letters and a couple of hand-written cards (often from children).
I'm hoping to get rid of my cold so I can go back on this coming Sunday. (More photos of troops and volunteers at the website.)
Using the collective you....
Every one involved is wonderful.
UGH! My LEAST favorite part! LOL
Isn't that nice beautiful.
Thank you for doing this, Dita.
I've had the pleasure of sending a few boxes and it definitely is an uplifting experience.
God Bless and Protect our Awecome Military.
