Packing up supplies for soldiers overseas

Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, a local nonprofit organization sending care packages to troops overseas, is hosting a packing event from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 4.

Sue Beard is organizing the event at the group's warehouse, 1114 N Federal Highway. She said she wants people to register to pack with an e-mail to hsaucier@bellsouth.net or by calling 561-369-2933.

Beard said because of past responses to packing events, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach has to limit the number of participants to 26.

Positions needed to be filled include three box makers, two pre-packers, one labeler, 10 packers, four tapers, three custom form writers and two re-stockers.

Beard said the organization also needs clear packing tape.

For information call 561-369-2933.
