Aug. 1st Last Day to Donate Items, Letters for Troops

The Office of Veterans’ Services is currently collecting items to be sent to military personnel stationed in the Middle East or overseas for our annual “Operation Medford Cares.”

These items would otherwise not be available to our service personnel. We are always looking for volunteers to donate requested items, help assemble packages, pick up donations, etc.

Desired items include letters of encouragement and thanks, used or new DVD/CD’s, used or new soft covered books, new AA batteries, things that remind them of home, etc.

Please click here to download a full list of authorized items (PDF).

We can accept only authorized items for donation, thank you for your cooperation.

To get a service person on our mailing list to receive items, or to volunteer to help with this event, please call 781-393-2503.

Donated items will be accepted in person at the Office of Veterans’ Services at Medford City Hall from July 1, 2013 through August 1, 2013 (during normal business hours).

Thank you for your support!
