Care packages available for those serving in the military
From a Buncombe County e-newsletter:

Are You or a Family Member in the Service?

If you or a family member is in the service, you can request a care package. Operation Care Package is a non-profit group who sends care packages to men and women serving in the military.

If you, a friend or a family member is in the service, you can submit a name to receive a care package. Just send an email request to ProudArmySis4@sbcglobal.net.

Please remember to include the name of the person in the service, address and if known, their approximate length of deployment. Groups & units may also be submitted.

Buncombe County Government will be holding "Christmas in July," which is a drive for the troops, for the entire month of July. So now is a good time to submit a name.
