Help Our Wounded Heros For Memorial Day


Next week, we are collecting new clothing, blankets and pre-paid phone cards for those courageous men and women wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-based nonprofit group based in Pasadena, CA, with over thirty different teams of military and civilian volunteers supporting all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Through special projects, Soldiers' Angels makes a visible difference in the lives of our service members and their families.

Over 400 patients monthly are provided with much needed items for a more comfortable time of recuperation. Because of groups like the Soldiers' Angels our men and women in the military don't have to go without! Our first collection drive in January yielded 2,000 items and a ton of gratitude from our wounded soldiers and the LRMC staff. 

HERE'S HOW TO HELP AND SHOW APPRECIATION FOR OUR TROOPS! 

  • BUY: Purchase any of the items below and drop off at any of the locations listed.
  • PROVIDE A LOCATIONS: Create your own collection drive in your office, school or neighborhood and drop donation at a designated location by 5/29/09 at 4:00pm
  • VOLUNTEER: Lend a helping hand to sort & pack. RSVP HERE TO VOLUNTEER!  CULVER STUDIOS - 9336 W. Washington Blvd Culver City, CA  Saturday, 5/30/09  10:00am to 4:00pm
