To All
I thank all that helped on Saturday, December 4th at the 2023 packing party at the HOME Office.
The Dickinson JR ROTC was amazing. We would not have been able to do anything that they did. I stand and salute you young men and women that were at the packing party on Saturday. You are AWESOME. I know it was thin picking, but you still did a great job. We have 233 care packages to ship this week to our deployed men and women in our military.
I know I have said this before, and I will say it again. These men and women do not know these packages are coming and they need all the items we ship because they cannot get to a PX or Walmart, not even a corner store. They must BUY everything. EVERYTHING. Including their toothbrushes and socks. They even need to buy their own boots and uniforms. That’s right, boots and uniforms. Some even need to buy their own guns and ammo. Why do you ask? Just like our government will not ship these care packages to our deployed military for free, they will not supply our military with the necessary items as simple as toothpaste and toothbrushes. I cannot figure it out and I cannot explain it.
However, HOME tries to do the best we can all year long. Everyone that reads this message can still help. The increase from the post office keeps going up. The 233 care packages that were done on December 4th will ship at a cost of $16.96 per box. I will try to get them out before 2024 begins since I am sure the post office will increase the price again.
Everyone can help. You can help by adopting a box for the cost of $16.96. Visit our website at
