ITEMS NEEDED

Peanut Butter, canned fruit, beef jerky, powdered drink mix (such as Propel) Trail mix, hand/body lotion, and sunscreen are the most needed items for next month's boxes.   Currently the supplies are quite low, please consider helping this month.

5/6/2025 we will be packing both snack items and personal hygiene items for 100 military personnel


At this time we are not accepting any liquids.  The packages go through extreme heat/cold to reach their destination which will cause any liquid to expand or freeze and make a mess in the package.  While we are experiencing cooler temperatures in NW PA - other parts of the world are still quite warm.


 See below for other items being accepted.   NO sample/hotel sizes please.  NO Ramen Noodles.


Items such as sunscreen, hand lotions, eye drops and bug repellent are constantly needed.  Bug repellent and sunscreen should either be lotion (wipes) or pump spray.  NO AEROSOL for any product.  The post office does not permit shipping of aerosol cans, so any aerosol items will be donated to a local charity.


Healthy snack items are very popular and the items below are all being accepted.  Thank you for your support.


Please refer to the list below to see what other items are needed.  

  

Next packing is May 6th, 2025 - 5:30 pm
