Supporting Our Troops

Through the generous help of donors, sponsors and volunteers, Jacob's Light Foundation reaches a monthly goal of sending up to 10,000 pounds of supplies to our deployed military servicemen and women stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Once a month, volunteers gather to carefully pack boxes with toiletries, food, reading and writing materials, socks, phone cards, bug repellent, batteries, sunscreen and other items that are necessities for our troops. Special items and treats are included for the holidays, as well as seasonal articles. Letters of support and encouragement, in addition to letters and pictures from children, are also enclosed in the packages. In between the monthly packings, supplies are purchased and organized by volunteers for the next packing.
