From our great friends at Soldier's Angels:
Soldiers? Angels Need Your HelpBelieve it or not, the deadline for sending gifts to Iraq from the US is approaching - and now is the time to move from planning to action. Last year in Iraq every GI in my camp received a Christmas gift due to the efforts of these good folks. Please help all you can.Pasadena, CA. October 12, 2005 -- The Holiday Season is not far away and thousands of America?s bravest men and women who are standing watch over our freedom will not be home to share this special time of year with their families and friends. Sadly, there are many other deployed soldiers who have no family to send them a package or even a card at this most special time of year. Many wounded will be celebrating in hospitals.
Soldiers? Angels, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that provides support to deployed soldiers and wounded soldiers as well as their families, is hard at work on their annual Holidays For Heroes stocking drive, where stockings stuffed with small but welcomed items are sent to soldiers who are deployed in the Middle East combat areas and hospital units.
Cash donations are needed to purchase supplies as well as to help with shipping the stockings to the Middle East. Also needed are Holiday Stockings (homemade with special decorations and messages are wonderful, store bought is also great) as well as the little presents to stuff inside such as:
- Individual packets of hot chocolate, cider or hot soup mix?
- Candy (bite sized, individually wrapped, all kinds)
- AT&T Phone Cards (asking for this brand because it works in the Middle East area)
- Hand held games (playing cards, battery games with batteries, please)
- Small puzzle books
- Miniature Menorah
- Small, signed Holiday cards from you and your families simply addressed to ?Soldier? or ?Hero?. Homemade Cards are Welcome! Be sure to enclose your name and address.
This is the perfect project for a church, school, club, business, family or for any group to get involved and to participate!
Tax deductible cash donations to Soldiers? Angels, a 501 ( c) (3) organization, can be made by going to the Soldiers? Angels website at www.soldiersangels.org and clicking on the ?Donations? button to donate using Paypal or by sending a check to:
Soldiers? Angels, 1792 E. Washington Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91104
