AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort

The AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort founded in 1998 is a nonprofit 501C-3 organization managed nationwide by volunteer mothers to ensure that deployed US Service members in all branches of the military are not forgotten by providing needed mail support and to promote patriotism in our schools and communities.

You are invited to participate in supporting our troops overseas by donating a holiday stocking or gift bag filled with goodies such as gum, chap stick, sun glasses, baby wipes, hard candy, socks, Dr. Scholl's shoe insertsgel pads, hand held games, playing cards, word search books, snack foods, beef jerky, small toiletries, magazines, paperback books etc. Please include a note or holiday greeting; your return address is optional. For more gift ideas visit www.adoptaplatoon.org under care packages.

The gift packages will not end the war but they do boost morale and remind our enlisted men and women that they are not forgotten.

Stockings can be dropped off anytime prior to November 15th at 37 Kensington Road, Garden City or call Suzanne Fischer at 739-5570.
