Donate to our Troops

Do you find yourself cleaning out closets this month? Trying to de-clutter the bedroom or the office? It's a popular chore in January, and I bet you uncover lots of stuff that might be a perfect donation to a worthy cause.

If you are looking for that worthy cause, I suggest you consider our troops overseas. There are several organizations that can use your help and here is a short list just to get you started.

Guitars and other musical instruments:

Cell Phones:

New and used DVDs

• www.amvets.org/taskforcedvd

Used printer cartridges:

• Operation Shoebox

You can probably find other sources or you can donate to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill Industries too.
