We are collecting donations of toys to hand out at a local orphanage over the Christmas season. We are looking for new or lightly used toys (please—no junk or happy meal toys) that our soldiers can give out to brighten the holiday season for kids who otherwise go generally unnoticed.
You can mail the items to your service member, or directly to the chaplain’s office. Just about anything is fine; stuffed animals, action figures, coloring books and crayons, whatever. Please do try to stay away from overtly religious or seasonal things. While our intentions may be honorable, we must be sensitive to the culture of the host nation in these type endeavors.
Thank you!
Chaplain Tom Tedmon
