Soldiers Angels Challenge

well the challenge for the forum is to tell at least one stranger about soldiers angels today…so i figure i’ll at least reach one person on here by writing this…

soldiers angels is a non profit organization that adopts out deployed soldiers so they can recieve some extra care packages and letters..all you have to commit to is one letter a week….tell me who doesn’t have the time to write one letter a week….and to send at least one care package a month to the soldier you have (hopefully) adopted…and i know that economically sending a care package is not really affordable right now…BUT you can get a group of friends, family or coworkers together, and each of you buy one or two items to put in the box…or even bake some homemade goodies for them….or go around to local businesses to get donations for the carepackages….IT is POSSIBLE to do this on a very tight budget….

Have a bake sale to raise money to purchase items to send and to cover shipping!

If you are a teacher, this is a great community service project for your students…help them organize a school wide care package drive….

and the shipping you ask? well there are flat rate boxes that you can get for free from the postal service website…no matter what you stuff in there, no matter how much it weights, it is one flat price…it think it is a little under $11 right now….and if you can’t personally afford the postage, find a business that will donate that small amount of money each month to send out the package! IT IS POSSIBLE

so the challenge is done, except there is another part to it….we are trying to get all of the 497 soldiers who are currently waiting to be adopted an angel before December 25…can you help us do this? Do you think you can spare some time?

okay so I’m a bit preachy about this right now lol! But it’s a great cause…we need to let our soldiers know that they are not forgotten….that we all support them and care
