Glastonbury VFW Plans July Packing Event
The event will take place on July 14 from noon until to 2 p.m. at the South Congregational Church in East Hartford.
On July 14, the Glastonbury VFW Post 7659 and its Women’s Auxiliary are sponsoring a “Support our Troops” collection and packing event.
The event will take place from noon until to 2 p.m. at the South Congregational Church in East Hartford.
The theme for the event is summer fun and the VFW is looking for donations of items such as beach balls, balls for summer sports, towels, flip flops, sunscreen (non-aerosol), bug repellent, baby wipes, and snacks. Summer-themed drawings and cards are especially welcomed.
Items will be accepted from noon until 1 p.m. only or by special arrangement with Commander Frank Forrest of the VFW. Volunteers are needed to sort the donations and pack the boxes. Art supplies will also be available that day so that volunteers can include notes of support.
The group also welcomes monetary donations to help defray postage costs, which run in the hundreds of dollars each month.
