Keystone Military Families (Formerly Keystone Soldiers)
16 E. Noble Ave
Shoemakersville, PA 19555
Our Mission:
We provide support to deployed military and their families by sending letters & cards, personal care items, snacks and local favorites to the deployed personnel and logistical, economic support and assistance to dependent families. We ship care packages all year and special packages upon request. Our family pantry currently is assisting 35+ families per week with food, clothing, baby necessities, and household goods. This support is also available to any PA veteran in financial crisis. All assistance is totally anonymous and we do not share any information with other agencies without specific permission.
Current Projects:
Our current needs are shipping funds for our 2014 Stockings for Soldiers campaign and food to keep our pantry full over the holidays. Last year we shipped about 5,900 stockings to troops serving all over the world. Our postage was almost $29,000 just for the shipping. We can also use any small size snacks and toiletries (not hotel bottles), hand and foot warmers, white calf high socks for men and women, sewing kits, manicure sets, hard candy & candy canes, plastic holiday decorations and 18" to 24" Christmas stockings. For our pantry we are looking for turkeys and hams, large cans of yams, frozen filling, stuffing mix, frozen rolls, and anything you would use for a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Our pantry can always use any shelf stable foods like rice, flour, sugar, condiments, canned veggies and fruit, cereal (we use about 40 boxes per week), oatmeal, snacks, taco kits, tuna, canned chicken, canned hams and powdered milk. We also appreciate grocery gift cards in any amount that will allow the families to pick up fresh vegetables, fruits and meat.
We accept cards and letters for care packages so even if you can't help financially you can still be a part of our program and volunteers are always welcome and appreciated.
Please feel free to call or email with any questions. Phone: 610-698-2122 Email: keystonemilitary@yahoo.com
Thanks for your continued support for our troops and their families!
