This last October and November of 2008 Norwood Furniture had the pleasure of raising money and awareness for a special group named "The Military Family Support Group". This is a group of volunteer individuals who on their own have been meeting every month for over 4 years assembling and sending care packages to all five branches of the Military on the front lines. The packages are filled with the little things that help make their tour of duty a little nicer. Besides the goodies they receive the other benefit this has is letting our troops know we have not forgotten them and appreciate them for their service to us and the country.
Most of these volunteers have immediate family in the service and 3 of them have paid the ultimate price with
the loss of a family member. We decided to help this group after a presentation by Viana Bruce who is a Key Volunteer. We are totally impressed by the commitment, dedication and help this group provides to the troops on the front lines and the support they provide to the families at home.
I want to thank our generous customers, friends and team members who overwhelming supported this cause with their donations. We donated $4270.00 in cash! This money will be used to pay for the postage to send the care packages to Iraq, Afghanistan or wherever our troops are stationed. It costs about $10.00 to send each package and they send out about 250 each month.
Enclosed are photos of the packing party they have each month and photos of the troops receiving the packages in Kuwait.
If you would like to be more involved contact Viana Bruce at jsbphx@cox.net or 602-686-1132
Thanks again to all our GREAT CLIENTS for the support you showed this cause.
