Operation American Soldier Cheer Boxes

6 Fuller Road, Watertown MA

Description

Join NACE in our first community service effort of the new year! We will be collecting donations for Operation American Soldier and creating Cheerboxes to send out. Operation American Soldier makes sure that none of our US Military Personnel walks away from mail call empty-handed. These care packages give soldiers the support, comfort, and encouragement they need when they are away from home and is a kind gesture that shows we’re thinking about their safety and well-being while they are abroad. Donations can be made in many ways that accommodate everyone’s comfort levels: - Donate your time and help put together these boxes *on-site - Purchase items for these Cheerboxes on their Amazon page. Please place your order by 3/23 to ensure it will arrive at the hall in time for packaging. - Give a monetary donation to help pay for the shipment of these Cheerboxes. We’re aiming to send out 50 on the event date. *On-site Details: Two spacious rooms that will accommodate 15 socially distanced, masked volunteers. Looking to purchase something that isn’t on their Amazon list? Here are some other items the soldiers need that you can purchase to ship to the hall, drop off or arrange for pick up by our Community Service Chair, Aram Orchanian.
