Happy Birthday! "Molly's Adopt a Sailor"

Molly I would love to send something to the troops. How does this work? Do we send a package to 1 of the 80 Sailors or a package for them to pass around?

We work as this huge group --- so you sent things I send thing and together they get lots of things. I have up to 700 people at any givin time doing this. Finances have some just writting letters one month then the next month they may send a box, or not ---we are so huge that between all of us we cover each other pretty nicely.
And there is NO WRONG way to do this ----- even if a group gets nothing but letters, its still a win.
All we want them to know is they are not forgotten and that we thank them.
So you send to the point of contact, who knows packages and letters are coming. and he collects them all and passes them out OR they set up in a mess and have people come threw and get what they need. Usually the POC is a higher up like CMC or 1st class, or a chief.
depending on how much comes etc
Thats why we do a shipping date --so that most things can get there at the same time. Makes it easier for the POC so every week a few things come in and he has to remember who he gave what to.
We always ask they take care of the ones who have not gotten something first ---- and of course not one month has gone by that they dont care for the Junior's first.
I really 100% recommend that you write a letter and include your email address in it-thats how they communicate back to you, and OHHH those sweet little babies are always so thankful. (it will almost break your heart--trust me)
I have the address and will PM it to you when you want !! feel free to ask anyone you know if they want to help and pass that addy on. (you can never have enough love)
I hope this an ok short version of *how to* ask anything you want at anytime.
and I can tell you how to pack a box and which box to pack and the custom forms ---- help you with anything at anytime !!!

Thanks Molly,

I get it, we did something like this when the USS Bainbridge rescued Capt. Richard Phillip's. Here is a link of some things we sent to the Sailors. Others sent jerky & letters, it was great. So please send me the address when you get a chance. I would love help as much as I can.
