Shoe Boxes of Support for Our Troops Del Cerro

Del Cerro has been asked to donate care packages for the Army Corp of Engineers Company 585, recently deployed and stationed in Afghanistan. This company has been sent to help build roads, bridges, waterways for irrigation, runways, barracks, and a micro-hydro power station. These infrastructure projects will not only help the Afghan people, but will support our troops entering and leaving Afghanistan.
Shoeboxes will be filled with the donated items. We are hoping to fill and send 150 boxes – one box for each member of Engineer Company 585.
Here is how Del Cerro Dolphins and their families can help:
• Each student is requested to bring in a shoebox
