The organization Desert Angels is requesting the public to put together Do-It-Yourself holiday boxes for service members deployed overseas.
Volunteers receive a box, military address and a shopping list. Participants shop, pack, tape and mail the boxes.
Desert Angel founder Louise Blain said, We have troops serving and protecting in a far-away land; all they hear is bad news. How about you send them a box filled with hope, love, kindness and encouraging words? Add some socks, jerky, nuts, snacks, etc. Â
If you would like to send a Miracle Box to deployed military service members, email Louise@thedesertangel.org or call 248-736-6403. For more information, visit www.thedesertangel.org. and www.facebook.com/DesertAngelUSA/posts.
