Help send care packages to our deployed soldiers

Donation protected
This is for my daughter's ongoing project, Operation Sweet Support.  (Please like and share her Facebook page, www.facebook.com/operationsweetsupport, for updates!)  She is coordinating community sponsored care packages for our deployed military members from Alaska.  Here's a sample package she built:

 
As of 9/18/19, she has already shipped 98 care packages to deployed soldiers this year!!!  Currently, she is gathering supplies for a new round of care packages, which will go to an Alaskan unit deployed in Kosovo.  


Here is what she wrote:

"Hi! My name is Alaina.  I'm going into 8th grade in the fall, and I am an active girl scout.  I'm collecting donations for my service project!  My service project, Operation Sweet Support, is about sending care packages to our military members deployed overseas.  In 2017, I collected donations and sent ten care packages to two deployed military units.  This year, I'm hoping to send even more care packages to our deployed soldiers. I have already collected 782-boxes of donated cookies for our soldiers from our wonderful community members!  I would love to be able to include these in care packages and ship them ALL to our deployed soldiers, if possible.  I think it would be fun to include other items in the care packages, such as beef jerky, drink mixes, games, toothbrushes, etc. 

I will be using these funds to buy items for the care packages, or to help ship them, as needed.  I can send more packages to our soldiers with more support, so I would be grateful for any help you may offer!  Follow my project updates on my Facebook page under "Operation Sweet Support", or check out my website at www.operationsweetsupport.com 

Thank you so much! Alaina"


We have spent a tremendous amount of time organizing, shopping for, and preparing care packages to send to our military.  Here is a picture of Alaina preparing hygiene kits for the soldier's packages.  

Truly, a youth project like this would not be possible without community support.  Huge thank you to everyone who has cheered Alaina on, liked her page, shared her story, and are helping spoil our incredible deployed soldiers! 

Here's a fun story on her project:  https://www.ktuu.com/content/news/Alaskas-top-selling-girl-scout-takes-on-massive-military-care-package-project-513419581.html?fbclid=IwAR3pKk0gY42GriF61OLefuSuTBO29d_o5TbzwpLaeQWAulf8ilLdKIMpW0M


Thank you for supporting our deployed soldiers, and our daughter's project!
