Help AHG Troop OH3124
Support our Troops!
Dear families,
We are very excited to offer this wonderful opportunity for our girls to honor & serve the selfless men & women of the United States military. What a great way for our daughters to show Christ’s love & fulfill their promise to “honor their country” & “serve in their community!”
Our troop is going to send care packages to US soldiers overseas. For the rest of the year, we will be collecting: items to send to the troops, packing materials (peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.) & money to pay for shipping costs. There will be a collection tub for items & a small box for money at the meetings. There is no due date to turn in donations. Our hope is that families will remember the troops as you do your normal shopping, pick up a few extra items & bring them to the meetings. Your family is free to donate what you choose, though if our donations get lopsided (i.e. 20 bottles of shampoo, 0 bags of snacks) we may ask for specific items.
If you have a friend or loved one in the military we would love to put them on the list. You can write their name & address on the recipient list we’ll have at the meeting or you can email them to Lydia Brashear at ldbrashear@gmail.com. We’ll send out the care packages as they are filled & postage is paid. We’ll rotate through the recipient list to make sure each soldier is receiving goodies (though if you want to label a certain item for a specific soldier, that’s fine too).
Girls are also welcome to write notes, cards or draw pictures to include in the packages. They can do extra chores to earn postage money. They can bake homemade cookies (see the next page for details). This is a great way for our girls to be the hands & feet of Jesus!
Thank you so much for your generosity & support!
