Packages 4 Patriots

Packages 4 Patriots is a wonderful organization which has been around about three years and has sent over 2600 packages to our troops. Packages 4 Patriots meet Every third Tuesday to pack and send packages from the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Elk Grove.  On November 20, 2012 several Elk Grove Rotarians and their families helped pack more than 100 boxes.  The boxes included some comforts from home like chocolate, twinkies, oatmeal, ravioli, trail mix, and beef jerky to to name a few.  They also included soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste.  The packages also had a special holiday stocking which had lots of stuff including a beanie baby.  The beanie baby is carried by the troops and given to local children
