Acting on behalf of Operation Community Cares, Board member Chris Valenzuela was pleased to honor several of our local businesses and schools who made extra special effort in our recent Pack Day event. Thanks to volunteers such as these, and the many people who pitched-in to donate & support, we were able to ship nearly 900 care packages in November! We are already hearing reports from deployed service personnel who received these “hugs from home” and how much it meant to them!
Would YOU like to help? Our next Pack Date is in May and we will be happy to help you set up a Collection site at your school or business! Just drop us a note and we’ll get the ball rolling!
