4 Our Military: Coffee is packed and ready to go!!

Welcome to 4 Our Military!!

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Michelle and I am an avid supporter of our Military. Here, I will be blogging about everything I have going on in the way of supporting our troops. If you too are involved in supporting our troops, I would love to hear what you are doing in your community. For the past three years, I have been a volunteer for an organization called 'Adopt A US Soldier'. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that allows you to sign up to "adopt" a soldier that is deployed and in need of some support. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Please direct all mail to MDawn213@aol.com. Thank you all for your support!!

Project Frontlines (Project #1 that I am currently working on)

Project Frontlines is one of the two projects that I am currently working on. This was started by Kylie Johnson and Mark Klodzinski. We then worked together and have made it an official part of 'Adopt A US Soldier'. What is Project Frontlines? We have a unit in Afghanistan that is in a very remote location. Through Project Frontlines, these men and women in uniform will receive donations from supporters around the world. For more information or to donate, please visit the Adopt A US Soldier website. We have just received a HUGE donation of 1,500 bags of coffee and it is going to cost A LOT to ship over to our troops. PLEASE consider donating for shipping costs. Every amount counts!

Coffee is packed and ready to go!!

Today we finished packing all the coffee. In total, there are 10 boxes, with one having already been shipped yesterday. When we opened the second box, there was a different kind of coffee in it. The first box had an organic breakfast blend and the second box had Beach Bay Coffee, Irish Cream flavor. Both smelled AMAZING and so does the garage!!!! I'm just glad that it is finished being packed because it's getting hotter out, and I don't like to be out there when it's too hot. Besides, we are going to have some other stuff coming in for the soldiers coming home and we're going to need the room for that stuff. We've got some more pictures to share with you all. Hope you enjoy them :)

Remember, it's only about $35 to ship each box. Any donation amount is appreciated and I am sending a note with each box noting who supplied the shipping funds. If you would like your contact information sent along with it, just let me know :)
