Yes, I am in!!! When my good friend was in Iraq, I sent packages twice a month. He so appreciated the items and said that socks and baby wipes were the most appreciated! Thanks twinkle tink, I will put something together to send out.
I am so glad so many people want to join in! I am really looking forward to this project! My family and I are going to costco today for a large bulk purchase to get the ball rolling! I love to get the kids involved in stuff like this, I think it's really good for them.
I will keep everyone posted on how the project is going!
Another suggestion: How about anything that'll help them keep in touch with their families? Like stationery, pads of paper, envelopes, calling cards . . . .
^^^Actually, no calling cards please...They have been having problems with these being stolen from the boxes...I know, lovely, but I guess that is almost like cash.
But everything else is great.
Some new additions requested Q-tips and safety pins.
