278th Home For Christmas


From our friends at WCYB:


278th Fundraiser


A group that just served more than 1,800 Thanksgiving dinners is now raising money to make sure local military members can come home for Christmas.

People Loving People is hoping to raise about $2,000 to bring members of the 278th unit home in December.
The troops will be at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, preparing for their deployment to Iraq.

People Loving People is hoping to raise enough so the soldiers will have a bus ticket home and some money for food.

Organizer Blaine Jones says, "These guys are leaving this weekend and we're trying to get their money raised to make sure they will be able to come home and be with families for Christmas."

Bus tickets are $65 each.

To make a donation mail checks to:
People Loving People
P.O. Box 91
Rogersville, TN 37857
Write “278th Troops” in the memo

Blessings...brian
