Greetings!
We're so glad you joined us for this issue of The Care Package Project News!
Thank you to everyone who made this possible. This would not have been possible without the incredible generosity, support, and dedication shown by YOU, the MarineParents.com family. As usual, you came through in our hour of need.
Thank you to all the Girl Scouts who came out and helped us with our final Girl Scout Cookie Campaign pack day. With 30 scouts and 10 adult volunteers showing up to help, it was a major success.
If you have a friend or family member deployed to a combat zone, you can request we send them a care package. It's free, easy to request, and open to all branches of the military.
If you're unable to join us in person for a pack day, but still want to contribute in some way, for just $22, you can sponsor a care package. Sponsoring a care package is a quick, easy way to show your support for our troops.
Thank you for joining us for this issue and for your continued support of our brave men and women in uniform.
Semper Fi, Marine Families!

Pack Day Recap
Girl Scout Cookie Campaign's Last Hurrah
 | | Marine Parents employee (and Marine veteran) Kevin and the Girl Scouts |
Wow...once again, the Marine Parents family has come together to make the (seemingly) impossible possible. Thanks to YOU, Marines in Afghanistan will be able to enjoy our Girl Scout Cookie Campaign one last time.
Thursday, June 06, 2013, 30 Girl Scouts and 10 adult volunteers (Scout leaders as well as parents) showed up at our facility in Columbia, Missouri at 8:30 am to begin packing care packages to be sent to troops in Afghanistan and Africa. Each care package contained 10 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, playing cards, DVDs, beef jerky, ramen noodles, granola bars, wet wipes, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
Thank you for helping make our final Girl Scout Cookie Campaign the most successful one ever and for helping us end this campaign on a high.

Sponsoring Care Packages
$22 Sends a Personalized Care Package Overseas
When you sponsor a Care Package, 
you've made the decision to fund the sending of various comfort items to an American serving in the military in a combat zone far from home. These packages include such items as handwritten cards, hard candies, clothing, easily prepared meals, books, and personal care items. The packages send a personal message to troops overseas: that their efforts are appreciated, that they are not forgotten.
Sponsor a Care Package today, and we will include your name inside a package to be mailed out on our next pack day, July 27, 2013.
