Our Troops are in need of these items on a daily basis, in a joint effert with the Ladies Auxiliary Unit #493 Mystic Island NJ, we can make this happen. Here is a list of most items needed. You can bring them to any meeting night. We need your support on this Project! Item can still be droped off at the Farmingdale Post Office in the basket in the lobby.
