This month the Susanville Soaring Eagle Blue Star Moms will be having a packing party to put together care packages for our locally enlisted military and the group is looking for donations to fill the boxes.
If you would like to donate you can drop off items at WalMart or Grocery Outlet this Saturday, October 1st, from 10:00a.m. until 2:00p.m.
Wondering what to donate for the care packages? According to the Blue Star Moms the deployed and stateside men and women love snacks like jerky, candy, cookies, nuts, top ramen and gum.
They can also use toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soaps and razors, along with books, card games and magazines for entertainment.
They love getting cards and letters and things to remind them of home and Susanville.
If you have a loved one you would like the Blue Star Moms to send a package to please send the address to [email protected].
