Donations can be dropped off there as well on Mondays around 12:30 to 1:30...monetary donations are always accepted to defray the cost of mailing...and yes, we have to pay for mailing.

When a family member wrote home.from war...he did so on the cardboard from a Meals Ready to Eat package they use...he did not have paper or a card...can't describe how that felt when we received it...sealed with electrical tape.
