Donation of the Week - December 11th, 2008


So here is a little something different for the DOTW this week. At the holidays I think we all love to be with family and friends. We love to honor our traditions, eat the foods we love, play the games we play every year, go to the parties and hug and kiss those closest to us. Sadly, there are many people who will not get the chance to do any of those things. The men and women of the United States Armed Forces risk their lives every day to protect the freedoms in this country, but in order to do this they often spend a majority of time away from the comforts of home. Needless to say this must be especially painful at the holidays.

Well, if you are looking for a way to make a difference this holiday season but only have limited funds, sending a care package to the men and women in uniform might be just the thing for you to do. We all love care packages and right now the United States Post Office offers a flat-rate on care packages for US Soldiers- a mere $10.95.

So if you are looking for an economical and great way to spread some holiday cheer- hop on over to the P.O.!

For a list of items that our service men and women need most (and where to send them), check out these helpful websites:

Keep looking fabulous,
