Operation Touch of Home - Inactive

01/05/2020

For those who have helped us throughout our journey, thank you. We could not have done this without you. We began OTOH in 2007 to bring some cheer to soldiers stationed overseas. Over the next ten years, we sent hundreds of care packages to deployed servicemembers. In 2017, we decided to take a hiatus due to great difficulty in obtaining addresses. After much consideration, we have donated our remaining funds to two great local organizations working with veterans, Veteran Homestead Inc. and New England Adventures. Thank you to those who supported our work and we are grateful to be able to help others with their mission.

Students from the Swift River Elementary school in New Salem recently decorated and packed “Care packages” for some of our soldiers serving in the military. Pictured here are members of the U.S. Army 2nd Battalion 508th Parachute Regiment of the 82nd Airborne currently stationed near Mosul, Iraq. The soldiers received snacks, DVDs, toiletries, socks, underwear, and other everyday items. They are appreciative of the thoughtfulness demonstrated by these children and it makes their time away from their families less taxing. Ford of Northampton wishes to thank all of the contributors to this great cause!
