Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) Collecting Items For Operation American Soldier (OAS)

WATERTOWN – February, 2016-- Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) will collect items for Operation American Soldier (OAS) in each of their nine branch locations, beginning Wednesday, February 10th, through Saturday, March 5th. WSB employees will soon participate in a cheer box packing night at the Marine Corps. League in Watertown for OAS.

“Our goal is to ship as many boxes of cheer as possible,” says OAS co-founder Wendy Rocca. Wendy and her husband, John started OAS back in 2003. They, along with hundreds of OAS volunteers, have prepared and shipped care packages to more than 10,000 men and women serving in the Armed Forces. Three of the Rocca’s four children have served in the military.

Examples of items that are currently much needed by soldiers: small packages of Q tips, trial size hand sanitizer, small gold bond foot powder, socks, and toothpaste; also, small cans of fruit with tabs, Slim Jims, tuna packets, powdered drink singles, spam, nuts, granola bars, and Jif to go.
