SUCCESS!!!
The Donations came in, the backpacks were filled,
the boxes loaded, labeled and made ready to go!
Some went by Post Office service
--a GREAT big thanks to our local USPS!!--
and the rest are traveling via military supply plane.
THANK YOU to EVERY ONE of our helpers---our drop off locations---our donors---our tireless workers---our
persistent pray-ers!!! God used your efforts in
a mighty way.
The Goal: To pack and ship 6000 backpacks filled with personal items such as phone cards, encouraging notes, small toys etc to the members of the 506th Brigade Combat Team home based from Ft Campbell, KY. in time for them to receive them before Father's Day.The Donations came in, the backpacks were filled,

The Deadline: Everything needs to be collected by May 21st in order to be packed and shipped in time to arrive by June 15th.
The Need: HELP!!! We need donations, we need letters of support and cards of encouragement. We need people to pack and assemble the bags. We need businesses, churches, schools, day cares and clubs to help sponsor the shipping and provide the donations. We also need additional locations to become drop off points for donations to assist those who can't get to Madison to donate.
FAQ:
Why backpacks? By using children's backpacks, we are giving the gift of giving. The troops can "re-gift" them to the children in the area they are serving, along with the toys (such as small stuffed animals) we are including.
What about the Brigade members who are not fathers? We don't want anyone left out, so we are including the entire the Brigade in our Operation, male and female. We want to encourage them all -- after all, every one of them has a "Dad".
Will my monetary donation be tax deductible? Yes, checks made payable to "Operation Dad 2008" will qualify as a charitable donation.
A BIG THANK YOU to all our drop-off locations:
