As members of this community and concerned citizens, we have begun a program to assist our soldiers in Iraq. Particularly, we have adopted the 55th MAC 5th unit. Michelle Caron is a BHS employee, and her son Seth is a member of that unit. We are asking for donations, both monetary and of needed items. These men and women often live without electricity, running water and environmental controls. They live with extreme temperatures and harsh conditions on a daily basis. Doing laundry, showering, staying in touch with family and general comforts are sometimes non-existent.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated by the soldiers and their families here in the United States. We have an account set up to receive monetary donations: Checks can be made payable to “BHS Iraq Aid” and can be sent to (or dropped off at) Brunswick High School, 116 Maquoit Rd, Brunswick, ME 04011.
A list of items needed by our soldiers includes: underwear (boxer briefs, in all sizes), socks, disposable razors, shaving cream/gel, baby wipes (for quick washing in between showers), chap sticks, body wash/soap (Old Spice and Axe are popular), pre-paid phone cards.
The following list includes items that will make these men and women more comfortable and help create a more homey feel to their quarters: DVDs, music or comedy CDs, magazines, posters, balls (football, soccer, etc.), running shoes (sizes will be coming soon!), and pre-paid VISA cards for use when the troops get to a PX. Any supportive cards and letters will help boost morale and raise spirits. Holiday lights and decorations will help too.
Thank you in advance for any help, we truly appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Note: We are in no way affiliated with any political party or political organization.
