Holidays for Heroes
(2004)
Tigers In Service joined forces with Operation SOS
(Supporting Our Soldiers) for their second Make A Difference Day
project. Their goal was to prepare 500 care packages to send to
military men and women serving overseas. The results were truly
phenomenal and exceeded our expectations! Over 200 volunteers packed
500 boxes that were sent to U.S. soldiers serving in six foreign
countries and four branches of the military. Over $12,000 was raised
for postage and supplies. Around $6,000 was used to ship the 500
care packages and the remaining funds will go toward future mailings.
Due to many generous contributions, there are enough items left
to be able to send more packages to U.S. soldiers!
