The Southern Arkansas University Criminal Justice Organization is collecting items and sponsors for their second annual holiday care packages for overseas military service members.
“Please help show our service members how much we think of them, especially those who will be serving overseas this holiday season,” said Louis Roy, assistant professor of criminal justice.
The group is also looking for sponsors to help with the mailing cost of the care packages. To mail each package, it costs $12.95. If you would like to be a sponsor, or if you know a service member that is serving overseas, please contact Roy at 870-235-4226 or lcroy@saumag. All items and sponsors are needed by November 15.
Donations can be taken to Roy’s office at Peace Hall, room 115. Following is a list of items needed for the service member care packages:
