They plan to ship 3500 packages to troops starting tonight (Dec. 9) on through Saturday (Dec.12th). The demand for packages/supplies is so great...volunteers are now packing more boxes with supplies. Not only do they need supplies, but they need money to pay for postage. Each package costs about $12 to send abroad. Please do your part to help make this a Merry Christmas for our brave men and women.

Also, Facebook and Chase are running a contest and the top 100 charities (based on voting) will each receive $25,000. The vote ends this Thursday so please vote now! Http://www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving/charities/266200
