Dear World of Knowledge Families,
The Community Service Council of West Pasco is currently accepting donations for their annual Operation Shoebox drive.
World of Knowledge would like to assist them in this drive.
For those of you unfamiliar with this program, “Operation Shoebox” is a drive in which the items collected are placed in shoeboxes (by volunteers) and are then mailed to our Troops overseas. In addition to providing much needed toiletries and “goodies”, it is a nice way to let our Troops know they are being thought of and are appreciated.
A box will be in the office for donations. Items can be donated now through September 7th.
Anything that will melt or perish is not suggested.
Food Suggestions include:
Nonperishable foods: Fruits, soups, and microwavable items (pop top cans work best)
Beef Jerky
Small cereal boxes
Granola Bars
Instant coffee/tea
Powered creamers
Canned meats
Powered soft drink mixes
Hard candy
