Care Packages Sent To Local Soldiers in Iraq

Several soldiers with local ties have an extra special surprises each month. Our church ladies try to make a theme each month that coordinates with that month's holiday. The shipping costs are incurred from church funds and individual donations. The contents are donated by church members. The soldiers are shipped many essentials like mosquito wipes, toilet paper, shaving kits, shampoo, hand sanitizer, disposable cameras, phone cards, nuts, chips, candy, homemade goodies and many other creative items.

“It is a very uplifting giving program for both the soldiers and our volunteers,” exclaimed volunteer Dana Labhart. “It’s important for soldiers to feel they are cared about back home. It helps them do their job better.”

Many packages have been sent to deployed soldiers of relatives or friends of the church. It is part of a monthly care package program coordinated by church member Donna LeVan. Each month volunteers gather together to pack snack and personal care boxes created from donations made by church members. Over 400 packages have been sent to about 29 soldiers to date.

“It’s hard for soldiers to be away from their families especially during holidays, so at Christmastime we made an extra effort to create a package that would lift the morale of our loved ones,” said coordinator Donna LeVan. They included Christmas cards, gifts, snacks and many wrapped goodies. When the Christmas care packages were ready to send, volunteer Shirley Mathews said, “ I would just love to be a fly on the wall when they receive these packages.”
