The months noted Sponsored Packing Events (SPE) Months are going to be geared specifically for groups (private packings such as businesses, parties, clubs, etc.- where the participants determine how many boxes they wish to sponsor ! Hopefully during those months FSO will have enough sponsorships to cover the entire list of FSO recipients for that month. For more information on SPE contact John Oldham, FSO Community Relations Manager at john@forgottensoldiers.org or call 561-503-5819.
As for the other months and open public packing events, Please R.S.V.P. To avoid having too many people at once, which tends to cause us to lose productivity, you can book in advance. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our Packing Event Manager at packingevents@forgottensoldiers.org or call the National Operation Center at 561-369-2933
