Helping out the troops at the July crop!

Please remember we will be sending boxes to Iraq and Afghanistan. We will start with small comfort items they can carry with them in their pocket.

Examples:
black electric tape (this is like gold in some places right now)
baby wipes
bubble gum
camouflage duct tape
candy (no chocolate)
cookies
crossword puzzles
dried fruit
individual canned fruit (with flip top)
hand sanitizer
tuna and chicken in flat packages
propel or vitamin dry mixes (individual packs ) or Koolaid straws to add to bottle water
peanut butter
puddings
powder
power bars
nuts (individual packs)
snack crackers
socks
trail mix (individual packs)
tucks (hemorrhoid wipes)
ziplock bags (2 gal sizes)

They would always like letters, old newspapers, something to let them know we are with them.
And...remember money is always good...need to buy postage for all of this!

If you have any of these items, please bring them to the July crop!! Thank you for your generosity!

Carol, Peggy, Tracey and I all went in together and bought our stuff at Sam's today. They have a lot of the items on the list in bulk. We saved so much by going in together and buying in bulk, we can buy more! And MORE is GOOD! See you next week at the crop...Stasia
