The USO (United Service Organization) of Indiana is coordinating holiday care packages for troops now deployed Overseas. CCC volunteered to provide as many packages as we can. In 2009 we provided 147 care packages overseas plus our congregation's soldiers!
We are awaiting specific names from the USO but they have not been obtained yet. These packages WILL be sent to a soldier, you just won't know the soldier's name.
1) Pick up a provided Large Flat Rate Priority US Postage Box at church (12" x 12" x 5-1/2") starting Sunday, November 20, 2011. Keep the size of the box in mind when you purchase items, as your space is limited. You are not limited on weight in the box. This box must be used. If you turn the items in without this box, we will package/repackage it for you.
You may send more than one box. Buy in bulk and create several different care boxes.
Return the filled box back in to the church by noon on Tuesday, November 29. Do not attempt to ship these boxes on your own. The church will seal and label the boxes and get them to the USO in bulk to send to the soldiers.
Help Label and Seal Boxes after Soup, Salad and Scripture meet in room 107 at 1pm on Tuesday, November 29.
2)Purchase NINE REQUIRED ITEMS for the box, pictured above. You don't have to purchase exactly as shown, these are examples only. Focus on individual size packaging.
3)You may also include SUGGESTED ITEMS (make sure it will all fit in the box!) Follow these instructions:
FOOD
|
TOILETRIES
|
MISCELLANEOUS
|
4) If room allows, you may also include things to hand out to local children such as:
We will be purchasing the special Angel Food Thanksgiving boxes and delivering to those in need. Provide names to add to our list of recipients to the church office with full address and contact information.
We're looking for ideas for upcoming events, let us know what you think, or propose an idea to tim[at]reachteachserve.org
