NM Easter gifts headed to soldiers

"ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Easter goodies are on the way to troops overseas, thanks to the Blue Star Mothers.
The group put together over 200 care packages Saturday for the military men and women stationed all over the world.
The Jimenez family alone collected over 2,700 donations.
'It was very, very thrilling. I got chocked up when they backed into my driveway to drop everything off,' Blue Star Mothers Volunteer Kelley Way said.
Before their daughter was deployed to Iraq, the family threw her a going away party and asked guests to bring donations for troops."
