KINGWOOD ROTARY DONATED NON-PERISHABLES FOR BLUE STAR MOMS "CARE PACKAGES FROM HOME" PROJECT

 
We're very proud to be helping the Blue Star Moms of Houston (which is based in the Humble/Kingwood area) by purchasing non-perishable to fill boxes of "Care Packages From Home" for our local military service members in combat zones in harm's way. 
 
We're proudly helping again just like we did at their last packing event. The 250 boxes were packed....and shipped immediately overseas to arrive by Christmas.
 
Our club purchased $1,000 of items to help fill the boxes and we also volunteered to pack the boxes.
  • Individual serving pop-top cans of:  fruit, soup, chili, etc
  • Individual packages of oatmeal
  • Granola bars
  • Hard candy (nothing that melts)
  • Chewing gum
  • Pop-top cans or pouches of tuna
  • Hard candies (peppermint, etc.)
  • Pop-top cans of Bean Dip (They are from Texas!)
We'll also pack 100+ boxes of personal care items (male & female):  
  • Non-aerosol shaving cream
  • Disposable razors
  • Chapstick / lip balm
  • Socks
  • Foot powder
  • Shampoo
  • Soap
  • Deodorant (non-aerosol)
  • Body lotion
  • Tampons and sanitary pads
 
Please consider stopping by Costco, Sam's Club, etc. to purchase items.
