In my blog today I would like to ask you all for your help with Sending a Care Package to our Illinois Troops in Iraq
Helping Our Heroes is currently sending care packages to soldiers overseas. They have shipped over 75 boxes to our heroes since Thanksgiving week. They are currently looking for additional items to send abroad.
The items the soldiers can use:
They will try and tailor a package to a specific soldier. For example:
They are supporting a Staff Sergeant who is working with local families and children in Iraq. They have been sending school supplies to her.
They are also working with a chaplain who is with a troop of 5500 soldiers. He has been giving candy to soldiers as he ministers to them.
So as you can see, the sky is the limit. PLEASE NOTE: Flammable items cannot be sent. But they were able to send some manicure/pedicure kits and hydrating lotion to a troop that is stationed high in the mountains.
Every thank you note that they have received had stated that the soldiers are sharing the goodies with their tent or room mates! Everything is appreciated.
Please deliver these items to Richard Ives at RE/MAX At Home 3215 Algonquin Rd. Rolling Meadows, IL 60008 and he will be delivering them to the REALTOR Associtaion of Northwest Chicagoland/Helping Our Heroes who will be sending the items to the troops in Iraq. Thank you in advance for your help. Together we can make a difference.
