Do you have a closet full of wicker baskets you rarely, if ever use? OTA will give them a good home! We are in need of baskets for use in our All American gift basket auctions. Proceeds from these auctions go directly towards funding our troop and veteran programs.

Operation "Send A Soldier A Stocking" is well under way! Our OTA Elves are packing boxes, but we have more stockings than we have soldiers to ship to!

If you know of anyone deployed, or who will be on a military base and unable to make it home for the holidays, please let us know ASAP so we can add them to our list and have Santa deliver in plenty of time for Christmas!

Just send us a PM with the soldiers name and a good e-mail address so we can contact them to confirm address and number of stockings needed at that location.
