Those that know me, know that supporting our troops is very important to me. My father retired from the Navy after twenty years, so I'm a "Navy Brat" and my (step) son is in the Air National Guard. Following is from Rhonda's blog Giggles 'N Sugar Kisses:Operation Sugar Kisses will be launched January 2009. Each month Giggles & Sugar Kisses will send a Sugar Kiss (care package) to a soldier. They miss home and the modern conveniences that we take for granted, so we've decided to help brighten their day.
Sugar Kisses needs monthly donations and we would like our readers to become involved. Please place our Operations Sugar Kisses button (above) on your blog and let family, friends, your church and anyone who will support our initiative know about our program. We need donations as well as the name and address of a soldier who would appreciate a Sugar Kiss. The name and address of the soldier can be sent to rhonda@gigglesnsugarkisses.com. We will build a list with the soldier's name and post of duty. Each month we will randomly select who we will receive a Sugar Kiss.
Here's a list of what our soldiers need:
- hard candy
- homemade cookies
- chips/pretzels/cheese curls (snacks)
- envelopes & writing paper
- pens
- deodorant
- tooth brushes
- tooth paste
- foot powder
- lotion
- sun screen
- chap stick
- batteries (AA, AAA & D)
- gum/mints
- sports and/or automotive magazines less than 2 months old
- disposal razors
- white socks
- cheese & peanut butter crackers
- ramen/cup o noodles
- shampoo
- conditioner
- hair brushes & combs
- unscented baby wipes
- toilet paper on rolls
- packets of Kleenex
- shower shoes
- cans or packages of nuts
- facial moisturizer
