OPERATION SHOEBOX NEW JERSEY
This drive is sponsored by the local Girl Scouts from our area and our patient Kathleen GSHNJ SU93 Manager/Trainer.
The following list contains items frequently requested by U.S. soldiers and Marines serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Please note that aerosol products cannot be shipped overseas. Also, all items must be in their original packaging. When in doubt, think small, it is easier to ship smaller packaged items than large, economy size. Also a little advice, think The Dollar Store, Walmart, and Target. They have small travel size products available, for very reasonable prices.
Items Needed:
- Lip balm
- Sun block - non-aerosol
- Moist wipes small or travel
- Bug spray - non-aerosol
- Bars of soap
- Disposable razors
- Small bottles of shampoo
- Deodorant - non-aerosol
- Powdered drink mixes
- Cereal/Snack/Granola bars
- Instant oatmeal - individual packets
- Boxes of hot chocolate that contain individual packet
- Small cans of tuna with pop-tops
- Small cans of fruit with pop-tops
- Microwave popcorn - individual bags can be sent
- Athletic socks (white)
- Batteries - all sizes
- Feminine products (travel size)/individually wrapped
- GUM/Candy (chocolate can melt)
- Small boxes of cereal
- Small bags of trail mix, peanuts, pretzels
- Beet jerky, slim jims, etc.
For every 5 items brought into us at your appointment, you will receive 1 Blue Ticket. And for every 10 items you will receive 1 Green Ticket! More then 10 items will earn you additional tickets in intervals of 5 items. We will accept items up to May 14th. So get to work earning those tickets and helping our Soldiers overseas!
