Some of the items we will be collecting for Summer 2008

"A Salute to Our Troops"

1. Something to Eat -ie: granola bars; jerky, nuts, candy, snacks and gum and tuna in packet not in cans; anything individually wrapped and nutritional that they can pick up and put in their pocket and go

2. Something to Drink: ie: crystal light on the go packets; again anything individually wrapped .

3. Something personal: ie; phone cards, international only - socks; playing cards; puzzle books; nerf balls, cd's dvd's, yoyo's small toys; beanies; sunglasses, body wash, Gillette "Fusion" blades, shaving cream in tubes not aerosol cans, fly traps, mouse traps, zip ties and socks, dental floss, lip balm,

4. Phone Cards- International

It is usually better to make monetary donations earmarked for phone cards as the program

gets them at a competitive rate through the Army exchange.

Please remember we DO NOT send liquids or aerosols, if they leak they ruin the entire package.

Reminder: Currently Letters From Home is not sending magazines or books to our troops overseas.

We also always are in need of sturdy sandwich size and snack size zip lock bags

to package the items in.

Also keep in mind, when making your cards of support, the soldiers don't like glitter all over the cards as it makes a mess in shipping. But please, remember to a man/woman overseas a LETTER FROM HOME is worth a million dollars. There is nothing better..

Questions, please don't hesitate to call us. If no answer, leave message and we will return your call.
