Operation Shoebox is an organization that sends care packages, and goods to our troops who are deployed. I chose this organization because I felt a connection with it since I have an older brother in the Coast Guard who I adore and look up to. When he was deployed in Cuba my family always sent him care packages so he could always have a little piece of home. When I heard about this organization I immediately wanted to find out how I could help. Once I read about the many ways I could contribute I decided to choose the care package option. Through a community service club I am in I received help in gathering together goods for the boxes. In the boxes included items they need or would enjoy while deployed such as: hygiene care, toiletries, pre-packaged snacks, books, magazines, or anything that could bring a little light into their day. Through Anchor Club I was able to gather these items and package them up and send them to …show more content…

Since I come from a small town and live close to the Eglin Air force Base, where many men and women are stationed. It really hits close to home, and it makes others want to help out in any way they can. We appreciate these people and want to give back as much as we can. Operation shoebox has given me an outlet to help the people I am passionate about. I love the military and I have the utmost respect for them. This community service project has brought such a light to my eyes because the things they ask for are things we take for granted far too often, it can be as little as a bar of soap or hygiene products that they appreciate so much. It opened my eyes to how thankful we should be of our troops, and how they sacrifice so much for us. Overall I am thankful that through this project I may be able to bring a little bit of joy to those who are working so hard, and I hope to continue working with this

    Considering that the military’s logistical structure hasn’t had a major improvement in over 60 years, the idea of streamlining and consolidating systems would be a welcome and much needed change. I currently work in the ammunition field for the U.S. Army and have done so for the past 18 years.

  • Donating Homeless People

    We chose to donate because there are so many families who don’t have items that are necessary for good hygiene, like toothbrushes and soap. People take things for granted like throwing away old clothes or not wearing a pair of shoes because they don’t like them. These are simple things that would be really valuable to someone else and I think sad that we don’t realize that. The most impactful thing to me is that the number of homeless elderly people is on the rise. The number of homeless people 60 or older jumped 30% from 856 people in 2007 to 1103 in 2015. I think it is really sad to imagine an elderly person spending their golden years living and struggling on the street. Something I want to learn is if there if any businesses that are
