Support Our Troops

November 13th we will be packing Christmas snackies

At this time we are not accepting any liquids. The packages go through extreme heat to reach their destination which will cause any liquid to expand 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.

We need to pack earlier for this Christmas season as it is taking longer for packages to arrive to their destination. Snack items will be packed November 13th at 5:30 pm. Peanut Butter, Beef jerky, powdered drink mix (such as Propel) Trail mix are the most needed items for the Christmas snack boxes. 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.

We are accepting unbreakable Christmas decorations/ornaments for the November 13th packing.

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