Support Our Soldiers Now

"Support Our Soldiers Now" was established in 2011 as a result of two friends sending care packages to one female Blackhawk pilot. They soon learned the need was much greater than one box a month and the effort was soon expanded to any deployed soldier and troop. A loving volunteer hand writes a note to give encouragement, appreciation and thanks that is included in every package. The staff of volunteers are committed to supporting our soldiers until they return home.

Ways you can help:

• packing care boxes

• write thank you notes

• assisting with fundraisers

• donate supplies

• cash donations

For more information, visit www.supportoursoldiersnow.org or call (740) 522-7784.
