Military Family Assistance
We are collecting non-perishable goods to help military families. The items will either be (1) sent to active military personnel stationed overseas, or (2) donated to the Region 1 Troop and Family Assistance Center for military/veteran families in need. We will be collecting these donations at our December Den & Pack meetings and then delivering them to the center on Wednesday Dec. 28th.
Below is a list of items we are collecting:
