Treats For Troops is a chance for your to send a good word, a happy thought, email, or special gift to U.S. Military personnel.
Our Troops have been put in harm's way so that WE can live in freedom. We can go to work in freedom, we can go to the mall in freedom, we can have parties in freedom. All of that because our husbands, wives, children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and neighbors are fighting for us.
To Spoil them by sending care packages, is the LEAST we can do back for them. Send them a card, write them a letter, send a donation, send a care package. Show them that you care; that you haven't forgotten about them. Give them some moral support. They are far from home, they miss their families and all the comforts of home.
YOU could be their closest link to home...
YOU can help boost morale...
YOU can make the difference in a soldiers life today.
Please bring all donations to the church office and Friedens will take care of shipping it to the soldiers as our way of saying thank you for helping.
