Operation: Fill a Stocking

I know this is short notice , but if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kuratko Nosek Funeral Home, North Riverside, has adopted a whole platoon for the holidays and is asking our assistance in filling one  stocking with items  for a soldier serving in our Military.

Now how can we pass up that.  We will need donation of the following items.  If each of our families donates one item, I am sure we will have a very happy soldier.




Items that are needed:

• Candy Canes
• hard candy, jolly ranchers
• beef jerky
• chewing gum and mints
• M & M's
• multivitamins, vitamin tablets or drops
• moisturizer
• lip balm
• shampoo
• eye drops
• hot chocolate packages, coffee, and tea
• batteries AA and AAA
• Small sewing kits
• Magazines
• tooth brushes, tooth pates  and dental floss
• tooth picks, q tips
• Decks of playing cards
• crossword Puzzles
• Domino
• CD's and DVD's
• Please don't mix food items with non food items
• Please put any liquids in Ziplock bags
• Beanie Babies are great fun for the troops to give as gifts to children

Stockings need to be returned to the Funeral Home by November 30th for shipping.

Please contact Wendy to arrange for pick up or delivery of these items.

Thank you 

Yours in Scouting,

Wendy
