'Operation Buddy'

The 'In Line With The Word' home team has decided to take on a 'service project' called "Operation Buddy". Kim and Chip's son Doug, a marine, is currently serving as a part of Fox Company in Afghanistan and he loves receiving 'care packages' from home. When we heard that some of the guys he serves with don't get much, if anything, we all jumped at the chance to do something about it. We are collecting supplies to pack so that we can ship as many boxes as possible each month. Any money collected can be put toward supplies and to cover shipping.

Everyone pitched in with a helping hand.


Laurie and Melinda sorted items by category: Personal Care, Entertainment and Food.

Brian helped with packing!



While Kim assembled the boxes for shipping!



Even Jay and Mike helped! They stayed out of our way!

It was a great START with 4 Boxes ready to add our Home Team picture and note for shipping.

Now that we have a better idea of what to pick up and pack, we plan on adding Bibles, DVD's, CD's and no doubt in time, we'll figure out more exciting things to add.

We remain walking In Line With The Word,
Sally
