Other Ways to Help: We are always looking for children's groups to help make cards for our soldier packages. On average we go through about 200 cards a month. Some cards go to wounded soldiers in the hospital, some are cards themed to a specific holiday such as Christmas or Easter and others are just general cards to soldiers serving in Iraq thanking them for their service. We also need material to make our drawstring tote bags with. We look for colorful, bright material with kid friendly prints. For information on making cards or donating material contact us via email at OPFriendship@aol.com. *Be sure to visit our Hero Hugs page to find out about the packages we do for our troops! |
