A Lexington organization has been sending out well-wishes worldwide to U.S. service men and women for close to two decades. Military Missions is once again right in the midst of its holiday-time-focused care package campaign.
The back and side walls of the Military Missions collections and distribution center feature six shelves and lots of boxes marked with words like pens, bibles, socks, Vienna sausage, fruit snacks, crackers, cookies, and gum. Charlotte Guarneros was looking for volunteer opportunities after retiring and moving to Lexington four years ago. Guarneros, the wife of a veteran said this sort of thing means a lot to those serving.
“I like the service that we provide for the soldiers that are deployed overseas and being able to send them just something to let them know that we are thinking about them and that they’re not forgotten,” said Guarneros.
