"(Canandaigua, N.Y.) - The Blue Star Mothers of America Chapter in Canandaigua spent the early hours Monday preparing care packages.
Everybody worked fast and furiously as they prepared hundreds of care packages for overseas."
The boxes are filled with non perishable foods, hygiene products and other supplies to make life--and the heat--of Iraq (and Afghanistan) bearable.
"I don't think we've received one jar of vitamins. They need those juice drinks; they need those to replace electrolytes. The bottled water has no fluoride, it doesn't have what they need," said Blue Star Mom Ann Wido.
The dedicated mothers of soldiers want to fill enough boxes to send to 600 men and women overseas. They've got until June 10 to collect everything and prepare it for shipping.
