As Americans, we are always looking to give back to the needy here at home and internationally. Soldier's Connection based in Loganville is always looking for ways to help our Military. While I was at Saturday evening's Car Show in Grayson, I had the honor of meeting Jean Kelley who is a big part of this great organization.
Jean prepares donated items for our troops for shipping to Iraq and Afghanistan every 3 weeks. She and her team assemble approximately 60 packages altogether. The funds for the packages come from a variety of means such as the Car Show proceeds and booths set up at festivals or local stores. Items for the packages are donated from various sources including individual citizens, Churches and local businesses and organizations.
How can you help?
You can let our troops know we haven't forgotten their hard work and sacrifices by making a tax-deductible donation in monetary form or by providing items for the packages such as baby wipes, hand sanitizer, chewing gum and sunblock. Take a look at the Soldier's Needs List for more information.
Your donations can be delivered to:
American Legion Post 233
4635 Atlanta Hwy
Loganville, GA 30052
Items are accepted Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 5:PM - 9:PM and Sundays 12:PM - 4:PM.
Be sure to thank Jean and her team for all they do when you stop by!
