Christmas Trees for Troops!

Do you have a brother, sister, uncle, cousin, neighbor or friend serving overseas with the United States Military. My elves and I at Winthrop’s American Legion Post 146 would like to send them a holiday box of cheer from Winthrop Mass, complete with a Christmas tree, lights, decorations, garlands, home made cookies, cranberry sauce, brownies, candy, Santa Claus hats, candy canes etc. Email me their address along with a little info, hometown, age, branch of service, location . . . . . . and I’ll send them a box filled with support, good thoughts and lots of love and big smiles. I don’t have to know them and they don’t even have to be from Winthrop, just that you know they’d like to receive one of these boxes. What does it cost? Nothing! It’s “FREE”! 

Email me the info at: [email protected]

2022 marks twenty years of sending thousands of letters and over twenty tons of care packages to our servicemen and women serving overseas with the United States Military.
