Collecting Donations

Jun-30-2004 » Filed Under: Mail & Care Packages

Dog Sitter linked to an article last weekend that mentioned the upcoming effort to collect donations at a local Safeway supermarket. The items collected will be included in care packages for Jake Herring's 5-20 INF platoon. If you recall, Jake was killed on April 28. Susan Sutter, Jake's mom, came up with the idea as a way to recognize the soldiers in his platoon.

I provided additional details on the bulletin board, but thought it would be useful to include them here as well. If you live in the Puget Sound region you can visit the Rose Hill Safeway (map & driving directions) this Saturday, July 3rd from 9 AM to 5 PM and make a donation. If you don't live in the area, but would like to help out, Susan has agreed to accept monetary donations via snail mail. Monetary donations will purchase Safeway gift cards for families to use for parties or BBQs when the platoon returns. Send me an email (todd at strykernews.com) and I can provide you with a mailing address.
