Volunteers in Utah area:
If you live in XXX in Utah, we need your help boxing up letters and gifts to send to our troops!
Volunteers elsewhere:
- Teachers: We've heard that the troops love hand-written letters from kids most of all! Any school teachers that would like their kids to write letters of THANKS to the soldiers too would be greatly appreciated.
- Your Networking Help!
Would your company be willing to donate money or goods to our troops? For example, you may have thought to send toys to military families in need, but we've heard that the soldiers would LOVE to have toys too! We've heard not only wishes for things like X-boxes, but also for simple things like LEGOS!
We need your help to get the word out to get Christmas wishes and gifts to our Troops this Christmas!
100 cards mailed to us to send to Iraq Fallujah camp by 2nd graders in North Carolina. " Thank you for allowing us to send these cards to you and for your time in assisting me, my daughter and her friends and classmates. *We would love to start a pen pal correspondence with the soldiers. These children are so excited to send these cards! Thank you" Click picture for more pics.
Some people have gotten Girls Camp teens to write letters as a project like these 142 letters dropped off at our Orem COSTCO Letters to Soldiers box, other teachers are having their classes write letters and volunteer community service hours, and employees are getting entire companies to write letters. Ask us how you can participate in this way.
