Foxborough Native Starts GoFundMe for Military Care Packages

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A local group is hoping to raise enough money to send 150 care packages to Marines currently stationed overseas.

Foxborough native Lauren Eliopoulos recently wrote on GoFundMe that her brother George Eliopoulos, who is stationed abroad, said many of his fellow Marines are in need of care packages, with many of them currently without snacks or toiletries.

Hearing this, Lauren decided to attempt to raise $2,155 to cover the shipping costs for 150 carepackages. She is collecting deodorant, beef jerky, toothbrushes, toothpaste, baby wipes, protein bars, protein powder, cereal, easy mac, blister block, and more.

Donations can be dropped off at The Triplicity Group at 1776 Washington St. in Walpole. A financial donation can be made on GoFundMe.
