As we begin a new year and a new OFRW administration, we also begin a
new project. This year we will be putting our efforts into
support of the Ohio USO Care Package Program.
The
USO was founded in 1941 and since then, has been serving our men and
women in the military all over the world. The Care Package program
sends a little bit of home to our service members serving overseas and
here at home in times of peace and war, the USO is always there. As a
wife of a now retired Marine, I can tell you how much those Care
Packages mean to the men and women of our military. For some, it is the
only package they will receive and it means more than I can say.
The monies that we will raise will be given to the USO of Ohio and kept
here in Ohio for the Care Package Program in Northern Ohio. The care
packages will go to Ohio military members.
We are
asking our local clubs and members of OFRW to donate money for the USO
Care Package Program. We ask that your checks ─ either from clubs or
individuals ─ be made out to USO. By doing so, donations from
individual members ARE tax deductible. Checks made out to OFRW to be
directed to Caring for America are NOT tax deductible.
* We will keep
track of
all donations from each club and individual.
* We will keep our Treasurer informed of
all donations.
* We will send the donations along with
a letter from the OFRW to the USO.
* We will list all individuals in the
letter and amounts donated.
We hope we can really make a difference in the lives of people who
serve us so well. We appreciate your support for this very worthwhile
project.
There are many projects to
choose from and many needs
throughout our state. Please scroll down to view a

donations as well─we would really like to keep track of all donations
wether it be the value of product or money.
Thank you for all your support, if you
have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
