As a family, we collected boxes full of goodies for "Hands on Charlotte" to send to troops overseas. We had a great time filling each box with the goodies that had been donated. Both Ramsey and Bradey really "got" who we were sending the boxes to and as we filled them we talked about where they might be, what they might be experiencing, how their family might feel with them being away, etc.
When we got to the drop off point, it was really wonderful to see all the boxes that had already been donated. The final count was 533 boxes!
We had such a great time putting the boxes together that Ramsey asked if we could do it again next year :). Actually, boxes can be sent anytime. If you are interested in sending a box or two to our brave men and women overseas, check out this website: http://www.anysoldier.com/. My disclaimer, we did not go through this website when we sent ours, however, I found it when I was looking for a way to send more boxes on our own. I couldn't find any negative press on them, so, so far it looks legit.
We're picking an organization/charity each month to volunteer with as a family , so, stay posted for next month's adventure!
