That’s A Wrap…

Posted on by Nicquelle Timson

Our 2016 event was a tremendous SUCCESS! We were able to send out 500 holiday care packages to 10 different units, along with 10 artificial trees with lights and ornaments. WOW! All of this was done in 1.5 hours! Double WOW! We couldn’t have done it without all the consistent support of local businesses and the loyal volunteers that donate and come out every year. You all wait patiently in line to pack as many boxes as you can! It is truly a humbling experience every year! We all want to thank everyone involved, but we can’t forget who we really are thanking… THANK YOU to our troops serving this Christmas in dangerous locations. You are what we celebrate in our success! We may not even know you, but we hope that we show you what you mean to all of us in this tiny state of Vermont. God bless.

Donations from Vermont so far…

Excited to announce the first 3 Vermont companies to donate goods for our care packages. We can raise funds all day long for shipping, but if we have nothing to pack into boxes are efforts are fruitless. Thank you Vermont for being such a generous state to worthy causes.

Corporate Sponsorship 2016

Posted on , updated on by Nicquelle Timson

We have a NEW way for local businesses to support our worthy cause! In case you didn’t know, each box that we ship is a flat rate APO box through the USPS. There is no other way to get packages to our combat zones. Every year the USPS raises their rates, this year we will be charged $16.75 per care package. To help with these soaring prices we are asking businesses to sponsor individual boxes. Below are our sponsorship levels:

Bronze Sponsor: 10 boxes for $170 (Shipping Banner name recognition)

Silver Sponsor: 15 boxes for $255 (Shipping Banner logo recognition)

Gold Sponsor: 20 boxes for $340 (Event & Shipping Banner name recognition)

Platinum Sponsor: 25 boxes for $425 (Event & Shipping Banner logo recognition)

Diamond Sponsor: 30 boxes for $510 (Media Sponsor! Event & Shipping Banner logo recognition)

Note that, not only will businesses be advertised on banners and/or on our website, but for a special touch, each box sponsored will have a sticker stating whom the box was sponsored by.

We know some businesses really could care less about their logo being anywhere, we appreciate your humbleness. However, we do think a humble sticker proves the simplicity of small town camaraderie in our wonderful state.

Thank you to all local businesses who continue to humble our organization with their enthusiasm and commitment to this project.
