For my Eagle Scout Project on Friday, August 10, 2012, I will be working with Desert Angels Inc, a non profit organization that collects, packs and mails needed items to our Troops overseas. These boxes are called “Miracle Boxes” in honor of Pfc. Joseph A. Miracle, a Michigan solider who gave his life defending his unit. They contain a variety of items, including socks, pocket foods, personal hygiene items, letters from home, as well as pocket flags, to remind our troops that we are thinking about and praying for them.
My plan is to pack 50 boxes. Each box costs approximately $12 dollars to mail. My goal is to raise $600 to pay for the postage. I will also need donations of items to put in the boxes. (see below)
How to help with my project:
-Write letters or cards to the troops to enclose in the boxes. -Donate items to go into the miracle boxes-Donations for postage (checks please)
