LDI offices, 1 Center Place, Providence, RI 02903
If you do stop by, please consider bringing either non-perishable food items for RI FOOD BANK. And/or Care package items for soldiers. I think it will be a nice idea to send some stuff to them. Bring 1 or more items and we’ll create some care packages to send over. The list of wish list items is attached to this email.
Also – when you’re sending holiday cards this year – please include this address when you do:
A Recovering American Soldier

Please keep in mind that all food items must be in the manufacturer’s original packaging.
NO chocolate - 110 degree heat and chocolate do not mix well, though M&M’s are fine.
Ziploc bags make sure that potentially leaky items don’t make a mess during shipping, and service members use them to keep sand out of their things while in the desert. IT’D BE GREAT IF YOU CAN BRING A BOX TOO! We’ll need to package them up.
We’ll need some volunteers that following week to help package the boxes for mailing. Please let me know right away if you are interested in that.
