We are truly honored to support our troops.  Several times a year, our Hospitality Team collects items such as small tootsie rolls, lifesavers, chex mix, beef sticks/jerkey, Pringle potato chips, hard candy and hand sanitizer along with hand written notes of encouragement and thanks and packs them for shipping overseas.  Receiving a care package from home can be a real morale booster for a deployed service member, not just during the holiday season but year-round.  It brightens their lives and makes them feel closer to home.  We have found that choosing and packing the contents also helps our church members feel closer to our loved ones who are serving.  This ministry is a blessing for all.
