Helping Some Heroes


As you will know, I have started a new job. Some of the lovely ladies I work with have partners serving in the armed forces and are collecting things for food packages. I've attached the email from Lisa for you to look at: if you can help, please let me know!

Good afternoon ladies,

I was wondering if any of you girls would be willing to help out at all.  As you may know two lovely ladies from our team have fella’s currently fighting for, or due to return to fight for, our country out in Afghanistan.....and for that they all deserve medals! J J

Now unfortunately, as you can imagine the food rations are not too good which mustn’t make their stay out there any more pleasurable.  I wonder if any of you girls would be interested in helping out with food parcels which will be sent out for the boys? 

You can either make up your own box or lend a helpful hand and donate items for a box to be sent.....every little helps.

The parcels need to be as follows:

·         Shoebox size is perfect

·         They need to weigh less than 2kgs each including all packaging

·         No dairy produce, perishables, glass

·         No pornography (!? Which includes the Sun newspaper apparently)

·         No illegal substances or alcohol

Hayley Newman has already shipped off a couple of boxes and is getting her friends involved too.  If you are hoping to send a box, please see her with regards to address’ etc as she may need to do that part for you (army politics!).  Her boxes were amazing and included items such as cereal bars, soup pouches, noodles, lollies and tomato ketchup..! 

Please let me know.......you will all get a massive pat on the back and a warm glowing feeling from helping out.

Many thanks for all your help,

Lisa
