Blankets & Shoes for Soldiers
Soldiers with the 101st Airborne stationed in Afghanistan along the Pakistani border in the Nangarhar Province have requested blankets and gently used men’s shoes sizes 8-10.
When wounded soldiers are transferred from the zone to the hospitals, everything they come in with goes out…so the need for blankets.
Many nationals wear sandals while working in the kitchens and burn their feet when spilling hot water or grease and often the bases are in cold climates….so the need for shoes. The shoes can be tennis/gym shoes, boots, hiking boots etc….
These items can be dropped off at the Chamber office or bring them to the next event. If you’d prefer, we can pick them up at your place.
If you have any questions, please contact the chamber Office or Jan Obrand at 847-541-3324.
