I just finished a “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS” banner for a non-profit organization that contacted me after seeing some of my banners. When Lynn from the NC Foothills Blue Star Mothers asked me if I would make a banner for them that said “Support the Troops”, I thought..”Ah, why not? Sounds like a good charity.” I’m a military wife after all. Then after reading what this group was all about and what they did, I felt a need to make this banner. I felt like it was the least that I could do. I used the Creative Imaginations Big Banner Book to make it with. They are having a charity crop called “Cropping for our Troops” for about 40 women as a fundraiser for the charity. They are in need of donations for the event and also for the charity.
Scrapbook Royalty is also taking dontations for this event/organization. You can go HERE to visit their site.
There are so many soldiers and lots of young soldiers that don’t have anybody to send them care packages or the stuff that they need. If they are in a small place in Afghanistan, they do not have a PX so there isn’t any place to go to get gum, snacks etc….
The chaplains contact this organization and asks on behalf of these soldiers for supplies and care packages. They are in dire need. Some may have no family, some may come from families with insufficient funds etc, and so they get nothing. This Charity provides care packages for these men. They work through the chaplains that work with the men.
So if you would like to donate towards the charity, it is tax deductible. She will give you the write off info. If anyone wants to make a donation, create a donation or read more about this charity go to Blue Star Mothers NC Foothills Site!
Have a great weekend!
