Help Downtown Lakeland Honor Our Service Men & Women

South Kentucky Avenue the HQ for Giving Back to Our Troops

Where: Downtown Lakeland, South Kentucky Avenue; The General Store, J. Rowan Galleries, FastFrame
When: Friday 6 - 9 pm and Saturday 10 am - 4 pm
What: Support our Troops!

This First Friday, as part of Downtown's "Honoring Service" celebration, The General Store, J. Rowan Galleries and FastFrame will begin collecting items for "care packages" for our troops overseas. The holidays are quickly approaching and we need to make sure that our troops get a little touch of "home" for the holidays.

There will also be letter writing stations so we can send messages of support to the troops. This is a great activity for families!

Items to be sent to the troops include:
Snacks - individually wrapped and non-refrigerated; Drink MIxes - Country Time Lemonade is a particluar favorite; Personal care items; Books, magazines, games and other entertainment items; AT&T International Phone Cards; Batteries, duct tape, bungee cords, and mini-mag lites.
