ITP Packing with Melrose Meadows

Melrose Meadows, a local retirement community....with the guidance of Jackie, raised/donated $1400.00 to purchase items for soldiers. Then they got to help pack the boxes. Maria took everything there we would need. The ladies put together the boxes and then we all started packing! We also had the help of some students from a local high school. The local TV station came and gave ITP some much needed media attention, which has helped with donations. It was very touching to hear the ladies saying how important it is for them to help, they remember what it was like when their husbands came home from Korea and Vietnam. We had the older generation and the younger generation working together to support the middle generation! It was a very heartfelt experience...it sure makes it even more real when you pack the boxes!
