Welcome to Send a Taste of home

"Send a Taste of Home".
Brief summary of 2010 Outreach (please see 2010 Outreach for more details)
- Unit: 2-116th Field Artillery Regiment. Soldiers are based in Lakeland, Dade City, Bartow and Winter Haven.
- Number of Soldiers: 350+
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
I am excited to post that we were able to send out a 2nd package to the 2-116th this year! Thanks to Victory Church Lakeland along with everyone in the congregation - we were able to ship 910 pounds of home-baked cookies! Veterans Day cards were made by the students at Victory Academy, and coffee was donated by Starbucks (Indiana) and local friends. Unbelievably -- 910 pounds later...The 2-116th was able to share some of the cookies with other soldiers outside of their brigade. THANK YOU to Victory Church!!!
All packages (600+ lbs worth) made it to the 2-116th in time for July 4th!
Soldier's say thanks...check out the many thanks we got in email!
Please check out our list of organizers and sponsors, without them, this outreach would not be possible. Make sure you take the time to thank them for the part they played in helping show this group of soldiers that they are supported and loved at home!
