THANK A HERO!
Shoe Box for a Soldier

     Send a care package to our soldiers overseas for the 2008 Holiday Season!


THANKS TO ALL  WHO CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING THE
2007 SHOE BOX FOR A SOLDIER 
SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS!

 A TOTAL OF 2,431 SHOE BOX CARE PACKAGES WERE COLLECTED AND SHIPPED TO OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. 

PLANS ARE UNDERWAY FOR THE
2008 SHOE BOX FOR A SOLDIER
            ----JUMP IN AND THANK AN AMERICAN HERO!

HOW DO I MAKE A SHOE BOX CARE PACKAGE?

1) GO TO YOUR CLOSET AND GET A SHOE BOX--OR BOOT BOX--OR ANY BOX ABOUT THAT SIZE.
         (THE POSTAL SERVICE HAS FREE BOXES)

2) CLICK ON CARE PACKAGE IDEAS FOR A LIST OF "GOODIES" TO SEND TO YOUR SOLDIER

3) FILL UP YOUR "GOODIE BOX"  - INCLUDE A CARD OR LETTER WITH YOUR HOME ADDRESS OR
          EMAIL   ADDRESS  (IF YOUR SOLDIER HAS TIME, YOU MIGHT JUST HEAR BACK FROM  THEM!) 
          A PERSONAL NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND THANKS CAN MEAN A LOT

4)  INCLUDE $10 TO COVER THE COST OF SHIPPING YOUR SHOE BOX
       (TEACHERS:  WE ARE RAISING MONEY TO COVER THE COST OF SHIPPING SHOE BOXES 
         FROM OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN.  CLASSROOMS THAT PARTICIPATE WILL NOT NEED TO
         INCLUDE POSTAGE.)

4) BRING YOUR BOX TO ONE OF OUR COLLECTION SITES (CHECK BACK SOON FOR NOVEMBER 2008
             DATES AND LOCATIONS)

5) SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE WARM FEELING OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF
           AN AMERICAN HERO!

YOUR SHOE BOX WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF A SOLDIER, AIRMAN, SAILOR, OR MARINE SERVING IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN DURING THE 2008 HOLIDAY SEASON.


CAN'T MAKE A SHOE BOX BUT WOULD STILL LIKE TO BE INVOLVED?
