It is our mission to help those in our profession through education and networking, but also help our community. Over the last few holiday seasons we have led a campaign for Toys for Tots, raising money and purchasing bicycle helmets and safety items for children receiving bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, etc. during the holiday season.
We will again offer a campaign for Toys for Tots. However, we wish to spread out outreach this holiday season, by assembling care packages to send to our men and women in the armed forces.
The North Carolina chapter will match the monetary contributions to each campaign to double our charitable donations.
If you prefer to donate items for the Troop Care packages please feel free to bring items to our monthly meetings or contact Jon Wallace, chapter President, to arrange a donation.
Common items requested by U.S. troops:
Playing cards
Beef jerky
Nutella
Sunflower seeds
Clif bars
Popcorn
Baby wipes
Raman noodles
Potato chips
Feminine products

We are excited about our initiatives this year and we hope that you will join us in making it a great holiday season for many.
