GHC'S February Box Packing Fun

Fun was had by all  at both the Hood River and The Dalles Chapters of GHC'S box packing nights!

The Gorge Heroes Club would like to extend special thanks to the following for sponsoring our February shipping costs:

GHC'S The Dalles Chapter - East Cascade Electric, The Dalles, Oregon

GHC'S Hood River Chapter - Wasco County Commissioner Rod Runyon and Hood River County Commission Ron Rivers.

We appreciate your support of our organization and our heroes!

Not only did GHC provide support for 385 hometown heroes this month, we were also  able to ship out 17 large boxes of hygiene items to the Oregon National Guard 3-116 CAV HQ in Iraq. Plus an additional 9 boxes of books to the Oregon National Guard 3-116 CAV Alpha Company stationed in Iraq as well.
