Woman's Club of Point Pleasant is asking for your help and support so we can continue to give our Troops a Merry Christmas.
This year the Woman’s Club of Point Pleasant is once again joining NJSFWC and Boatsie’s Boxes and sending Christmas Stockings to our troops overseas. This will be the 15th year for this outstanding project. Last year NJSFWC sent over 1,600 stockings. What a wonderful way to bring a little piece of HOME to our men and women overseas and brighten their holiday. Our military personnel are serving a numerous locations around the globe, not just in Afghanistan, but Kuwait, Korea, Djibouti (located in North Africa),
and Japan, to name a few. This is one small way to show how much we appreciate their service, and protecting us here at home.
SUGGESTED ITEMS FOR FILLING THE STOCKINGS: Spending $20-$25.00 fills the stocking nicely. Christmas candy, chocolates, Slim Jim's, Beef Jerky, Trail Mix, nuts, chewing gum, dried fruit, life savers, DVD’s, playing cards, puzzle books, razors, lip balm, travel size toilet items, AT&T Phone cards, batteries, crew socks, stationery, pens, microwave soups, body wash. Remember all candy MUST be individually wrapped! Also the troops asked for Windex wipes (small packages) to clean the windshield of their vehicles.
