Handcrafted Alexandria is collecting donations of supplies for an Air Force Combat Sustainment Support Battalion whose mission is to provide life support for Shindand Airbase as well as several smaller bases in Western Afghanistan. This unit does NOT have access to a PX (post exchange) and they rely on the kindness of family, friends and strangers to send care packages. The battalion consists of 50 males and 20 females, most of whom are Virginia residents and most of whom are on their second or third deployment. They are the first unit from Virginia to have a female Battalion Commander.
Donations will be collected throughout August at select Handcrafted locations* and at the Old Town Farmers’ Market on Saturdays, August 21st & 28th.
Donation boxes can be found at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, The Art League, Imagine Artwear, Ten Thousand Villages, and La Muse.
Special Offer: Receive a 10% discount for bringing donations to La Muse.
ITEMS NEEDED
FOOD:
• Fruit, canned with the pop tab
• Granola bars
• Sandwich crackers
• 100 cal snack packs of any kind
• Individual size or wrapped snacks
PERSONAL CARE ITEMS:
• Hand sanitizer
• Baby wipes (travel size packs are best)
• Lotion and sun screen

CLEANING SUPPLIES:

Tracking down the ideal wedding gown is a huge task, but brides and those helping her can benefit from wedding dress blogs and websites that will narrow down options. They also offer plenty of ideas in case you’re overwhelmed with the process and are having trouble getting started planning your big day.
Wow, this list is great! There are so much things that I really need to learn how to do, but just not doing them. It is time for me to stop procrastinating and give the list a try.Cartier love bracelets replica
