Last year with your tremendous support and outpouring of generosity we sent over 1,000 Holiday Stockings to our Troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. This holiday season we are aiming to match that. The parcels will not end the war but they do boost morale and remind our enlisted men and women that they are remembered.

Please help in supporting our troops overseas by donating a holiday stocking or gift bag filled with goodies such as beef jerky, sunflower seeds, caffeine gum, dried fruit, packaged tuna, DVD movies, baby wipers, hygiene products, cookies, gum, chap stick, sun glasses, hard candy, dark socks, Dr. Scholl’s shoe inserts-gel pads, hand held games, playing cards, word search books, snack foods, magazines, paperback books, phone cards, Frisbees etc.

Stockings or gift items can be dropped off anytime prior to November 15th at 37 Kensington Road, or Allyson Dillmeier at 97 Wyatt Road, Garden City. If you have any questions, or need stockings picked up, please call Suzanne Fischer at 739-5570 or Allyson Dillmeier at 746-3544.

Empty stockings can be picked up at Coach Realtors, 116 Seventh St., Garden City.

Please remember to support our Soldiers because every contribution, no matter how small, does make a difference.

If you have any relatives, neighbors or friends actively deployed please give us their mailing address so that we may send them a stocking.
