At this time of year, service men and women who are away from home would really appreciate something from home. For the past 7 years the Severna Park Republican Women's Club has been sending stockings stuffed with goodies to the troops in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq and Kuwait. The Maryland National Guard Unit we've adopted this year has 170 members and we are looking for help with items and cash donations to make this year as successful as in the past.
Suggested donations: dried fruit, snacks that do not crush easily; Ramen noodles, instant drinks, cough drops, eye drops, disposable razors, baby wipes, chewing gum, shoe insole cushions, ear buds, moisturizer with sunscreen, DVD's and CD's, hand-held games, crossword puzzles & Soduko, pens & note cards, toiletries (not hotel sample size).
Items can be dropped off at 712 Monmouth Ave. or 644 Tewkesbury in Colchester, or 534 Heavitree Hill in Chartwell.
