Donate Simple Items for the Adopt a Soldier Campaign

Show your All-America spirit and donate items for the "Adopt a Soldier Campaign." MidWest America Federal Credit Union will be collecting items for care packages through Friday, July 31. Last year the Credit Union sent more than 40 boxes overseas with supplies not otherwise readily available to our service men and women.

Items will be assembled and care packages shipped to as many soldiers as possible. Monetary donations will also be accepted to purchase any remaining items not collected and will be used to help offset the cost of shipping the care packages.

Items needed include:



• Lip balm, sunblock, lotion
• Personal/baby wipes
• Shaving cream, razors, aftershave
• Toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash
• Shampoo, conditioner, body wash
• Foot powder, socks
• Deodorant, facial cleansers, Kleenex
• Hard candy, gum, canned foods (tuna, chicken)
• Beef jerky, breakfast bars, etc.
• Powdered drink mixes or anything made with water such as Ramen Noodles
• Books, movies, games, puzzles
*Please do not send any aerosol items or items that contain alcohol.

MidWest America Federal Credit Union has 9 branches in Fort Wayne and New Haven and additional offices in Decatur, Huntington, and Columbia City. For more information call (260) 482-3334.
