At last week's joint Woodstock and Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce mixer I met Ben Thompson and learned of Mission: Hope Chicago.
Ben is raising money for this 501(c)(3) organization that will send "care" packages to 1,500 U.S. soldiers who are serving overseas.
Words of a Marine staff sergeant headed to Afghanistan for his third tour there are included in the flyer that Ben was handing out. "Knowing there are people who care about us and support us, makes all the difference. You have no idea. It saves lives."
For more information, go to www.MissionHopeChicago.org Click on Outreach Programs for details on this specific effort. You might want to earmark any donations for this particular purpose. Or email Mission: Hope Chicago at jet@missionhopechicago.org or via sixthbranch@gmail.com
Or call Ben at 815.670.3873
