Care Package Drive

In honor of fallen army sgt. Edward "Eddie" Bolen and the troops, there will be a drive to collect items for care packages. These packages will be distributed to Eddie's unit that is still stationed in Afganistan. Last month Eddie was tragically taken away from us, barely two months after his wedding day.

Please help by donating any simple non perishable food items, toiletries, and fun stuff such as games, books, pens, paper, etc. Donations to Wounded Warriors Project, the Booster Club at Chittenango High School, and to help defray Shipping and Handling costs will also be accepted and greatly appreciated.

Checks can be mae out to "Sgt Edward H Bolen Memorial Fund"

Items will be collected in the cafeteria at St. Catharines School on Western Highway in Blauvelt. Please use the rear parking lot, access through rear of school.
