On November 20, 2011 there will be a fundraiser at the VFW in North Attleboro, Ma. from 12:00 pm-6:00 pm This fundraiser is to help our troops in Afghanistan. There are everyday essentials that you and I take for granted like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, razors, ETC. the list could go on and on. We are asking for any, and all support we can get. Our goal is to raise enough items to help 100 soldiers. We are hoping that local businesses could donate any items, gift cards, monetary item, and anything on that idea, to help us achieve that. There will be raffles to help at the fundraiser, where all the proceeds will go to buying supplies, and shipping them to Afghanistan. We acknowledge that this is a busy time of year, but we are trying to do something selfless for the men and woman of our country fighting for our freedom. They will be spending this holiday season without the love of their family and friends, please help us deliver love and holiday cheer. We plan to have these items in their arms by December 25, 2011.
Here is a basic list of items we are looking for (remember we are send to men and women):
