Local girls Piper and Paisley Reck, with the help of their mom Nicole, shopped their hearts out to show their appreciation and support to local ladies serving in the military.

With their generous donations, that they personally selected themselves, these service women will enjoy a special Valentine's Day surprise from Boxes From Home.

Thank you Nicole, Piper, and Paisley for this amazing donation. Girls supporting girls in our community.

The Harlan and Alice Reck family came together to prepare holiday gift bags that were shipped to the USS Carl Vinson during its deployment. They managed to send six boxes totaling almost 400 gift bags that reached the ship and were handed out. The sailors appreciated the kind gesture.

Apologies for the delayed post, as December was particularly busy. The women of the Winthrop American Legion Auxiliary packed boxes for military personnel who were unable to return home for the holidays. Their efforts are deeply appreciated and demonstrate their ongoing commitment to supporting our troops.
