Thank you to all of you who have supported our project. This is truly a community effort! Your generosity has been amazing. This year we are again collecting new and lightly used children’s shoes.(up to size 5 - Please secure shoes together with laces or rubber bands) We are also collecting hats, scarves, gloves, school supplies and books along with goodies for our soldiers (chewing gum, snacks, coffee etc.) This year the Lehighton National Guard Armory will help us with storage and transportation.

The shipments will be sent to U.S. Soldiers serving overseas. We are still working on contacts but have confirmed Lehighton Police Chief Matt Bender will receive packages as he serves as a military police officer with the 1185th DDSB (U.S. Army Reserves) in Kuwait. He and his unit will help distribute your donations to soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and possibly Jordan. Shipments will also be sent to a school near an Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona.
