Young Americans for Freedom at Michigan Tech will support veterans in 2024 with help from the local community. This winter the YAF group on Michigan Tech’s campus recently mailed out this year’s military care packages for the holidays. 2024 is the second year the students have organized a care package program. This year’s program sent 68 care packages weighing 545 pounds and containing more than 350 letters to service members both stateside and overseas.
This year’s program was supported by Superior Family Chiropractic, Matt’s Auto Body and Glass, Sunflower Books and Coffee, Pat’s Food, the Van Pelt and Opie Library, Walmart of Houghton, Hubbell VFW, Chassell VFW and Auxiliary, Soumi Restaurant, Mr. Hauswirth’s class and Hancock Middle School, Barkell Elementary, Negaunee Schools, the Copper Island Academy, and St Albert the Great Catholic Church. Groups supported the Young Americans for Freedom mail program with drop box locations, financial donations, and letters for service members.
Young Americans for Freedom at Michigan Tech thanks you for your generosity supporting their 2nd annual military care package drive. Today, Tuesday, December 3rd, 68 12″x12″x6″ packages, weighing a collective 545 pounds, and containing around 374 letters, were shipped to service members stateside and overseas. Our organization wanted to give special thanks to:
- Superior Family Chiropractic, Matt’s Auto Body and Glass, Sunflower Books and Coffee, Pat’s Foods, and Van Pelt and Opie Library for being community drop-off locations.
- Walmart Houghton, Hubbell VFW, Chassell VFW & Auxiliary, and Suomis Restaurant, for their generous support.
- Hauswirth & Hancock Middle School, Barkell Elementary School, Negaunee schools, Copper Island Academy, and St. Albert the Great Catholic Church for their plentiful donations and letters.
As well as the numerous other community organizations and members which helped spread the word and donate towards the cause. The 3rd annual military care package drive will be held next November, and we look forward to working with the community again.
Thank you for supporting our service members this holiday season!
Sincerely,
Abigail Leagjeld, Andrew Feys, and the YAF at Michigan Tech Students
