Care For Our Soldiers
started in 2003 by Chastity Walker
VA Tri-Cities Mini-Supreme
Our troops are in need of the following items:
shoe boxes or photo boxes (to pack the supplies in)
baby wipes (in soft packs)
sunscreen (sweat proof)
chapstick
disopsable razors
shaving cream
ski goggles (because of the sand storms) - dark colored
bandanas - preferably camoflague colored
travel packs of tissues
toilet paper
toothbrush and toothpaste
flashlights
glow sticks (it gets very dark because of the sand storms)
international calling cards (for calling home)
cards (to let them know you support their efforts...especially valuable to soldiers that may not have families)
food (please do not send anything that could melt in the heat, like chocolate)
gum
mints
hard candy
beef jerky
crackers
breakfast bars
peanuts
goldfish crackers (in individual snack sizes)
(Food sent has to be in soft dosposable packages that can just be dropped along the way....they have to keep everything
they own with them at all times so it all has to be compact...small...that is why the shoebox size is about perfect.)
