Anysoldier Great Day of Service

Last Saturday was the first time that the AnySoldier Mission was selected as one of Mt. Bethel UMC’s missions for the Great Day Of Service! You would be interested to know that today, we passed the milestone of 8 tons mailed to the troops.

29 people packed 36 boxes weighing 637 pounds, which we mailed to 23 military units supporting 1,211 military personnel, 1 orphanage, 2 schools, 1 hospital and 5 villages in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Serbia.

So as of today, we have mailed 1,067 boxes weighing 16,273 pounds to 686 military units supporting 24,023 military personnel. Over 913 people have now packed boxes and 1,885 people have written letters.

I wish we had more time during the busy packing session to thank each and every one of you to thank you for coming and caring. We also want to thank Jack Horn for selecting and ‘pulling’ many of the solider unit’s addresses, and Dick Clarke, for spending 2 hours at USPS and UPS mailing boxes after the packing session.
