Let’s try to concentrate on items made in the USA or better yet, made in MICIGAN!! Let us see how many
home grown businesses we can support while supporting our troops!

Making a difference, one box at a time!

cookies, canned or packaged tuna or meats (no pork), easy open fruit cups, fruit snacks, “instant
foods”-ramen noodles, instant soup cups, oatmeal, cereal, mac & cheese, pop tarts, peanut butter,
hard candy, gum, dry beverage mixes such as Kool Aid, Gatorade, coffee (real & instant), coffee
creamer, Tang, tea bags. NOTE: No chocolate candies – they will melt at this time of the year!
Miscellaneous items; chap stick, foot care items, socks AND MORE SOCKS (black or white),
phone cards, women’s personal items, note pads, pens, sun block, wet wipes, blank greeting cards,
Ziploc bags, toothbrushes & toothpaste. There is also a need for larger entertainment items such

such as golf balls & clubs, baseballs, footballs, soccer balls, basket balls, etc.
The O.C.S.C. Office will be collecting items for these boxes and donations can be left in the

that they are not forgotten. For further information, call the OCSC Office, 248/623-0444,

**Louise Downs of Metamora founded Desert Angels, Inc. in 2001 and she is responsible for the shipment of thousands of boxes filled with a variety of needed
items as well as words of encouragement to our troops overseas. She was given the nickname of the
“Desert Angel” by the thankful recipients. These boxes were named Miracle Boxes in honor of
Pfc. Joseph A. Miracle of Ortonville, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on July 5, 2007. This
young man is also the son of Glenn Miracle who is a member of Oakland County Sportsmen’s Club.
