 Military care packages
In July, delegates in Minneapolis from both the NALC convention and the NALC Auxiliary convention will work together to collect donated items from delegates.
The items will be sent to NALC members who are on active military duty.
Volunteers from both conventions will pack items into boxes, label the boxes and prepare them for shipping.
Examples of requested items:
| beef jerky |
shampoo |
deodorant |
| prepaid phone cards |
baby wipes |
chapstick |
| lotion |
AA batteries |
playing cards |
| energy bars |
chewing gum |
|
Some items are prohibited, such as obscene or pornographic material, liquor, cigarettes and
aerosol cans.
Volunteers also will distribute NALC postcards for delegates to write personal messages of support and thanks to our members who are serving in the military. These postcards will then be placed
in boxes with the goods collected.
Volunteers will place USPS gurneys, featuring labels/posters to identify collection points for this
drive, at several locations throughout the Minneapolis Convention Center. |
