Thanksgiving collection and packing
Sunday November 10, 2024
SOS-Connecticut receives hundreds of pounds of Halloween candy from area schools and dentists. On Sunday, November 10, 2024 starting at 12:00 noon, we will sort and pack it up to send to our Soldiers who missed Halloween. This is held at the Hillstown Grange Hall, 617 Hills Street, East Hartford. This is our Thanksgiving treat box so any cards and letters to the Troops to place in the boxes would be great. Blank Christmas and Holiday cards are appreciated. Volunteers are needed to sort and pack the candy, just stop in when you can between noon and 2 pm. Please try to get donations in by 12:30. Also need more schools and Dentists to help collect left over candy.
For more information, please call Frank Forrest at 860-690-2845 or email to sosconnecticut@aol.com.
This is a great event to support our Troops stationed away from home for the Holidays and organizations that are interested in helping, please contact us.
It costs about $500 to ship the packages, and we need donations to help defray postage costs. Checks should be made out to ‘SOS Connecticut’ and mailed to: SOS Connecticut, c/o Frank Forrest, 165 Maple Street, East Hartford, CT 06118.
Our annual Christmas Cookie Collection will be held on December 1, 2024.
