Help us bring the comforts of home to our troops overseas. At the AmericInn, we understand the importance of feeling at home, even when you're alway from it. That's why we're initiating Operation Care Pack. And we need you!
Please join us, along with the Blue Star Mothers and local businesses, in putting together care packages for our brave men and women overseas.
Names of businesses that donate will be included in a letter accompanying each care package. Imagine the joy and gratitude our soldiers will experience when they open their package.
What you can donate: Monetary donations to cover the cost of postage. Each box costs $13 to mail. Smiple, every day niceties, from beef jerky to shaving cream to playing cards (see list below for specific items needed.)
