~ Operation Caring Friends~
As long as we have troops who need a smile and a touch of home Operation Caring Friends will continue to serve those who bravely serve our county. Below are items that can regularly be used by our troops. Items can be dropped off at Frontier Town in Romeo. Help is always needed to get our boxes to our brave young men and women who are honorably serving. Our support is ongoing and will continue until all our Men and Women are safely home.
For more information and drop off sites please contact Mary
