USOT Announces . . .

Troops’ Holiday in a Shoebox Campaign

          The holidays seem so far away, but they’re just around the corner, and Uxbridge Supports Our Troops has been busy organizing a community effort to reach out to the troops in time for the holidays. 

          The Shoebox Campaign is a way for you to show your support for these brave men and women.  All you need to do is fill a shoebox with any of the items listed below and drop off the unsealed shoebox to the Whitin Middle School or the Uxbridge Town Hall between November 4 and 24, 2008. Your shoebox donation will go a long way in making the troops feel a little more comfortable over the holidays.  If you prefer to put your donations in a bag instead of a shoebox, that’s fine, too!

          If you wish to make a monetary donation to Uxbridge Supports Our Troops to help defray shipping costs, checks may be made payable to Uxbridge Supports Our Troops and dropped off or mailed to the Uxbridge Town Hall (21 S. Main St.).

If you wish to include a personal note or card, USOT will make sure it travels with your package!

          If you have any questions regarding this campaign, or would like to add a name to USOT’s list, please call either Diane at 508-278-5131 or Linda at 508-278-9425.  Or visit us on the web at www.uxbridgesupportsourtroops.com.
