The Veterans Services offices in Randolph & Milton announces Operation CarePax.  We will be organizing an effort to send care packages to our troops in Afghanistan.  I have been provided the mailing addresses of two units deployed to Afghanistan until FEB 2021 and we would like to make sure they receive support during their deployment.  We would like to ask the residents of our communities  to assist with donations.  There are 80 soldiers (60 males and 20 females) combined in the two units.

We will have collection dates for each community at the Veterans Services offices at the end of the month. Our goal is to send one group of care packages every month (SEPT, OCT & NOV) with NOV packages arriving just in time for the Holidays. I will be outside our offices on the scheduled collection dates and times to accept donations. Please follow all appropriate COVID-19 guidelines when dropping off donations for the troops.

We are seeking donations of new, sealed items to keep our troops safe. Please no home treats as the troops can only accept items that we can be sure are safe.  Donations to help with the cost of  postage are also requested as each USPS military box costs $ 19.60 to ship (flat rate for boxes going overseas)
