An easy way to send a little bit of home during the holidays

We have a few great groups here in town that arranges cookie bakes and packages to be sent to our troops overseas during the holidays. I know many people that have personal connections with individuals and send to them specifically, but there are others who do not directly know anyone and this is a great opportunity to make the day of someone who is so far away from their loved ones for the holidays.

I have a few friends who do this as a family project and get their kids involved. The kids make them pictures or bracelets or just a note. What a difference this can make in someone's day.

I would like to think this is something that happens in communities everywhere. If it is available in your area I encourage you to participate, if it is not available, great opportunity to start a flow of wonderful feelings - for you and the recipients.

I pulled the advertisement below from a free, local email newsletter.

Good morning Karen. What a worthy cause, not matter what time of the year. Anything that can be done to let our troops know we care, should be done.

Karen Mathers - YOUR Vero Beach, FL Realtor this is a great gesture, and our troops really enjoy all the home baked goods that are sent. I had a client overseas, and sent a box every month for him and his friends.

Karen,

I love it when people take the time to give of themselves to others. Your post was written in December and it seems that's a popular time for giving with the Holidays upppermost in folks minds.
