What a fantastic idea – if you are part of a church looking for ways to support military families (and I know you’re out there because several of you have contacted me over the last few weeks asking how you can help) – read this article for one idea you can do.
Linda Kalwasinski filled her Ford Explorer with almost 100 care packages in May
and drove them nine hours from Ohio to Fort Bragg.Each package was wrapped in decorative paper and had a pretty bow — decorations that might be lost on paratroopers in Iraq and Afghanistan but perfect for their wives back home.
“They support our nation as much as the soldiers,” Kalwasinski said….
….Called the Fort Bragg Wives Project, members of Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village, Ohio, filled the boxes with gifts — cards, cosmetics, stamps, inexpensive jewelry, bubble bath — and a note thanking the spouses for their service.
Speaking of military wives, we are continuing to talk with ladies all around the country about starting Wives of Faith chapters in their area. It is exciting and a bit overwhelming at times because there are a lot of needs out there. If you are a church looking to help, please email me (sara @ sarahorn.com). I will put you to work!
