 MILITARY & VETERANS FAMILY SUPPORT

 Sharon Peppy

I have been contacted by a life member, Jeff Roberts who has a nephew serving overseas and he requested that we send him a package. The first package I sent junk food and personal supplies then we received a request. Coat hangers which a friend went out and purchased really nice ones, mechanical gloves which Jeff Roberts donated and room deodorizors. Well I filled the rest of the box with all the different things I could find. I also, requested phone cards from Operations Uplink and Cell Phones for Soldiers. We received a response for a family member as Tony has been in the hospital and can’t respond himself at the time. We will be in touch with him. If you have a service member that you would like me to send a card to or perhaps package, please just let me know.

CELL PHONE FOR SOLDIER

I mailed off 61 cell phones along with all of the accessories thanks to my ex-employer who paid the postage for us. When I retired I was told to just bring the boxes in and they would mail them. Saves us a bunch and the donation goes farther. Please remember to bring in all of your old cell phones and I will make sure they get mailed so our deployed can get phone time.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Please make sure that you continue to bring them in as I take them to the Pines Christian School and they are getting computer equipment and playground equipment.

CAMPBELLS PRODUCTS LABELS

I need these also to send to National Home for the education and support of the children of veterans.

If anyone has any questions or donations to any of these programs please feel free to contact me at (310) 869-4323 or nanasark@sbcglobal.net. I will get in tough with you ASAP.
