WIS is partnering with SAFE Federal Credit Union, Wray Volkswagen Mazda and the Midlands chapter of Blue Star Mothers to supply care packages to our troops overseas. When these men and women are separated from their loved ones, care packages and cards can be a reminder that others are thinking of them.
Show your support by donating any of the items listed on the Supply Drive page. We also encourage you to drop off letters and cards of support that can be included in the packages. Involve the entire family and send drawings from the kids.
You can also help by providing monetary support for shipping and packing costs. On June 23rd, WIS will be raising money to help with these needs, just watch WIS News 10 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm to call in your support. Or, you can send a donation to 1111 Bull St. Columbia, SC 29201 Attn: Troop Supply Drive. Checks may be made payable to Midlands Blue Star Mothers
From June 24th – July 1st, you can drop off your items at WIS, all SAFE Federal Credit Union locations, or Wray Volkswagen Mazda locations listed on the Troop Supply Drive webpage. Blue Star Mothers and WIS will assemble the care packages and send them off to our troops.
If you would like to submit an address of an overseas family member, please email the name & address to: INFO@BLUESTARMOTHERSSC.COM
