Moose Supports the Troops
Click >>> Here
Click >>> Support our Troops! ZH Moose 9928…The folks at the Zephyrhills Moose Family Center heard that Bob Williams needed help to cover the shipping cost that his group “Support the Troops” incurs sending packages to our troops overseas, they wanted to help. Mr. Robert Williams (white shirt) and his group sends out about 215 boxes each week to U.S. military units in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Kyrgyzstan. Zephyrhills Moose Family Center Administrator Gary Belyea (white hat) and many other volunteers designated Fridays, as a special “Red Letter Day” for the troops. Members of the group wear red shirts and portions of the proceeds of the Moose go to “Support the Troops” fund. On a daily basis Williams will receive wish lists from the troops either via email or through their families or friends. “Thanks to the efforts of the Zephyrhills Moose Family Center and their Red Friday campaign, we will do our best to fulfill those requests. The basic items we take for granted here can make a real difference in the quality of life our service personnel experience when deployed in combat zones and remote locations” said Williams. The packages they send out contain a variety of items popular with the troops, including coffee, snack foods, batteries, DVD’s, and personal toiletries. Some of these goods are donated by local businesses and organizations; others must be purchased to meet the need. “We are delighted to work with any company or organization interested in having a drive to collect items to send to our troops or to raise funds for postage” said Williams. Mr. Williams says that this is an on-going project therefore they must continue to seek the community’s help with the increasing postage expenses. The cost to ship one box can range from $20 to $45, depending on the contents and the APO or FPO address to which it is sent. Their postage costs alone run over $8,000 each month. “We always have boxes packed up and ready to ship out, but often lack the necessary funds to send them. We ask that any monetary contributions be made payable to: “Postmaster” and sent to “Support Our Troops,” P. O. Box 7560, Wesley Chapel, Florida 33544. One hundred percent of funds received go directly to cover the cost of postage” said Williams.
