We don't just ship shoeboxes for the holidays. We ship items to our servicepersons all year round!
The items listed below are always welcome donations and can be included in future shipments. Donations can be delivered
to the town hall at any time during the year.
Suggested Items:
(No Aerosol cans, please!)
AAA or AA Batteries
Lip Balm
CDs and DVDs (can be played on computers)
Pens and Pencils
Small Games
Hard Candy
Candy-Coated Gum
Cookies/Snacks
(cheese and crackers, granola bars, jerky, pringles, nuts, sunflower seeds,
etc.)
International Phone Cards
Socks
T-shirts
Red Sox or Patriots memorabilia
Hand-held games
Playing cards
We appreciate all donations. Here are some things that we've learned along the way:
- International phone cards are preferred. Some domestic cards will not work, or the associated fees are so high that
few minutes remain for the troops to use.
- We cannot send anything in aerosol cans. This includes spray deodorant, shaving cream, etc.
- CDs and DVDs are popular because they can be viewed/used with a computer.
- We cannot accept any homemade snacks/candy.
- Remember that service persons are from many different races, creeds, and backgrounds. Potentially offensive or
controversial items cannot be shipped.
