National Military Appreciation Month

December is not the only month to send care packages to our troops. May is "National Military Appreciation Month", including Military Spouse Appreciation Day (May 7), Armed Forces Day (May 21), and Memorial Day (May 30). It is a month to honor our military - soldiers of the past, present and future.

 

We at Kimble Clay & Limestone and J&J Refuse would like to get everyone involved as we collect items for care packages to be sent to platoons serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Items needed include:

 

  • Drink flavorings such as coffee, powdered Gatorade, Crystal Light, Kool-Aid, tea bags, powdered hot chocolate, powdered milk or lemonade mix.
  • Snacks such as: sealable bags of gum, candy, snack cakes, Twinkies, Slim Jims, Lunchables, beef jerky, cans of chips such as Pringles, packets of tuna and salmon, bags of trail mix, peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, jawbreakers, Twizzlers, nuts, raisins, pretzels, breakfast bars, power bars and Pop Tarts.
  • Food items in glass jars should be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap or repackaged into seal-a-meal packaging instead. Such items include: salsa, jams, honey, relish, spicy mustards, wasabi, seasonings or jalapenos.
  • Quick meals that only require hot water to prepare such as: ramen noodles, bowl appetite dinners, many noodle dishes by Lipton, foil packets of marinara sauce, microwavable popcorn, mac & cheese dinners, soups, or other microwavable dinners.
  • Personal toiletries such as: a new toothbrush, shower gels, nice soaps, baby powder, chap-stick, antacids, sun block, batteries, stain remover sticks, eye drops, baby wipes, travel pillows, del insoles, tee-shirts, underwear, or socks.
  • Special care package items such as: hand and foot warmers, thumbtacks, pens, stationery, envelopes, notebooks, plastic zipper-type storage bags, disposable cameras and prepaid phone.
