Children signing cards and filling care packages for the troops in September were also educated about the life of combat units -- including that these men often go up to a month without a shower due to the lack of amenities in the field. The young helpers were pretty grossed out by that news and carefully picked out hygiene items, such as wet wipes and hand sanitizer, to take care of the Marine they were filling the box for. Members of GHC also spent the evening organizing candy and toiletries that were donated by community members who wanted to show their support for the troops.

Final touches just before the care package is sealed.... Marine Mom RaeLynn Ricarte is showing the cute visitors how to stuff the box to the brim... including inside the toilet paper roll!
The Price Family children are: Esmé (girl in flower shirt), Sorin (brown shirt), Cael (burgandy shirt), and Teague in the backpack.
Your September care packages are on their way Heroes!
Proudly,
Your GHC
