Speaking of donations...collecting for the troops

[fords8]

Jewel will be doing a drive collecting for the troops this weekend. They are looking for some items that MAY be in your stockpile....such as lip balm (nivea or chapstick anyone???) , batteries, beef jerky, and many others.

I will post the whole list if anyone is interested.

Yes Barb. If you could post a few more items that would be needed, it would be great. I do have all the items you listed already. You stated this weekend .......... so I presume that is both Sat. & Sun.??? Time?? and any Jewel location??

Walgreens has boxes of toothbrush/toothpaste kits for $1.00 to donate to the troops, too. Kind of a priceier filler in terms of fillers, but a good cause.
