Military Holiday Care
Packages 2023

2023 care packages were shipped to service members who were serving in Africa and Germany.  We understand the loneliness that the holidays bring, especially when you are so far away from home ... It's a transition. So, this is our way of letting those who serve us know they are thought about by providing some comfort items that remind them of home and showing our gratitude as well. 

Please enjoy these pictures of the wonderful volunteers who assembled the boxes on packing day.
