About 9/11 Serve and Remember: Adopt a Soldier

The Dominican College community will "adopt" a deployed U.S. military soldier for the year, through "Homefront Hugs." We will hold a supply drive beforehand, and collect items that soldiers wish for during deployment. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to write letters to include in the care packages and send them out periodically throughout the year. This event will take place immediately following our 9/11 memorial on campus.

Homefront Hugs recommends the following items for care packages:
At&T phone cards
Bar soap & toiletries
Bengay
Blank greeting cards
Blank journals
Calendars
Cotton balls
Eye drops
Foot powder
Hot sauce
Insect repellent
Lip balm
Magazines
Multivitamins
Playing cards
Socks (brown, beige, green)
Sunscreen
Travel pillows
Waterproof bandages
Ziplock bags
