I volunteer for a US Troop Support Non Profit all volunteer group. We welcome home our local Veterans (South Jersey area) like rock stars when they return from Afghanistan. In addition, we work hard each and every week to ship huge boxes of goodies to our brave women and men serving our country and currently in Afghanistan, hoping it boosts their morale and let's them know that we here at home are grateful for their service and support them (no matter how we feel about being in Afghanistan). We average over 1,800 pounds of loving reminders from home each and every month that includes Skittles, candy, beef jerky, Pringles, Baby Wipes and so on.

For more, please visit our website; http://www.operationyellowribbonsouthjersey.org/

Our resources are limited as we do fund-raising and care package collection drives constantly but we have a little band width to add a few more members of our Armed Forces to our care package list. In the past, we have sent care packages to PJ fans who are forum members here or to family members of forum members on here.

If there is any Americans on these forums currently deployed in Afghanistan or if you have a friend or loved one serving our great country and deployed to this now almost 12 year old war, please PM me and let's get some more care packages out to our Brave Pearl Jam fans!!

Thanks
-EV

    this is only one of many amazing things EV does for others. His work deserves a billion clapping smilies.

    and I pledge to become more involved myself.
