This event was held on April 28th, 2022. Stayed tuned for the next packing party (hopefully in November or December).
About 50 members of the community came together to pack 86 boxes, each containing roughly 10 individual care packs. We also sent about 100 bags of BIGGBY Coffee. The Kensington Valley Civitan Club truly appreciates everyone that supported this event by donating goods, volunteering their time, or just helping to spread the word. Over 800 troops will smile because of you!

The Kensington Valley Civitan Club loves to help out the local charity Desert Angles and pack "Miracle Boxes" (care packages) to send to our overseas troops. As a club we will collect donations that will put a smile on the troops face when they open their box, plus we will include a thank you letter showing our support. Each Miracle Box costs $20 in postage, which our club will raise funds to cover this expense.

Care Packages for Desert Angels
DONATIONS NEEDED
Below is a list of items needed for our upcoming Packing Party. All items can be dropped off at BIGGBY COFFEE in New Hudson or South Lyon, or you can bring them to the party!
Typically, we will send a box to a specific person, but with the recent events many people are being relocated and we do not have their new address. So instead, we are sending small packs that will be passed out.
Donations of any item(s) below in any quantity would be greatly appreciated!
