There is a lady here in Eureka that makes up care packages to send to the soldiers. The name of the program is 'Socks for Soldiers'. This program started when she heard that the military men and women needed socks. Of course the boxes hold a lot more now. This program has evolved over the last few years.
My daughter (my son-in-law is in the army and they were stationed in Qatar at the time) asked me to send hard candies that could be carried in pockets for the soldiers to hand out to the kids. The men and women over there are very appreciative of anything that is sent to them.
