Senator Kemp Hannon speaks with troops in Levittown.  Many proud Americans want to send support to a soldier in harm’s way, but have no idea of what to send, who to send it to, or how to send it. That’s why Senator Kemp Hannon is partnering with “Any Soldier,” to offer community members an easy way to support our brave troops.

Senator Hannon registered his Community Office in Garden City as an official drop-off site for care packages and items that will be shipped to “Any Soldier,” and then directly sent to our troops serving overseas.

Here are some items troops are asking for:

FOOD, SNACKS & DRINKS:

• BEEF JERKY / SLIM JIMS

• COFFEE (Ground or whole; instant or drip. Ground is preferred)

• POWDER DRINK MIX 

(Gatorade, Kool-Aid, Crystal Light)

• SUNFLOWER SEEDS & PUMPKIN SEEDS

• TUNA & CHICKEN SALAD 

(in foil pouches, or ready-to-eat kits - no cans)

• PROTEIN POWDER & PROTEIN BARS

TOILETRIES: (Please NO hotel samples)

• BABY WIPES (travel size)

• HAND SANITIZER (travel size)

OTHER:

• LINENS: Pillow cases, twin sheets, towels 

(green & tan)

• T-SHIRTS: Cotton green & tan under shirts - new (Sizes: M, L & XL) 

 [Note: The DOD banned “Under-Armor” shirts due to its material being potentially flammable & bad reactions to open wounds.]

Please deliver any items to Senator Hannon’s Community Office located at 224 Seventh Street, Suite 200 in Garden City. For a full list of items our troops are in need of, please visit Senator Hannon’s website, kemphannon.com.
