(KCBS) -- An organization of women with children in the military has kicked off a massive holiday care package campaign for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Postal Service is expecting to deliver 20 million pounds of mail to military facilities around the world this holiday season. Some of that mail will be from Blue Star Moms in the Bay Area, working on an operation they call “Holiday Hugs from Home.” 'Our goal is to send out 4000 packages for our December first mailing for the troops,' said Becky Williams, who has a son in the Air Force. 'It's very thrilling when they get packages. It keeps them connected to home.” Donations can be made over the next two weeks. Drop off locations are in Martinez, Concord, Pleasanton and Danville. "
