THE FIRST ANNUAL
Our goal is to SEND A LITTLE HOME AS A way of saying “thank you” to a random soldier.
HERE IS HOW OPERATION RUCKSACK WORKS:
1) Purchase a rucksack.
These are common, personal backpacks used by military personnel with optional colors in green, tan and black and typically cost around $20 on ebay.com or amazon.com.
2) Fill them with the following supplies.
1 Toothbrush
1 Shaving lotion
2 Bars of soap/body wash
6 Pairs of socks (size 6-12)
2 Boxes water flavor packets
1 Book for down time
1 Hand-written letter
1 Tube of toothpaste
2 Tubes of lip balm
1 Gilette Fusion Razor
1 Pack of baby wipes
1 Foot powder
5 Misc. sauce packets
1 Magazine (Hunting, etc.)
1 Down-time game (frisbee, football, etc.)
We will add a Project RED Friday wrist band and t-shirt to the bag and will personally deliver them to soldiers on Thanksgiving.
DO YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED BUT NOT ABLE BECAUSE OF TIME OR DISTANCE?
Not an issue. We want anyone who wishes to be a part to get that opportunity to serve those who serve us. Simply contact us and we can help assemble a donation rucksack on your behalf.
Just contact Annie about this or with any questions at 479-685-5772 or Annie@projectredfriday.org.
