Supplying Students with Smiles Thanks to Your Generous Support
July 29, 2009 --Grand Junction
Through the generosity of DollarTree, Operation Homefront and the Grand Junction community, Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers has a large quantity of school supplies to disperse to military families in the area.
Operation Homefront and DollarTree teamed up to collect school supplies for military families facing extraordinary challenges. Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers will be distributing the supplies to area families.
A request form is available on the web site at www.gvbluestarmothers.org that can be returned to Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers. Your childrens names are not required - only the number of children and the grades. Once we have received the applications we will make arrangements for delivery or pickup.
Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers is a congressionally chartered Veterans Service Organization looking out for our active duty troops, our veterans and the military families.
Operation Homefront provides emergency and morale assistance for troops, the families they leave behind and for wounded warriors when they return home.
