The list....

Here's the list of needs that immediately came to my head. This is what I ran out and got when we moved into our apartment in August! We are super lucky we have a van and can afford to do so.

• broom
• mop
• mop bucket
• dustpan
• trash cans (think kitchen and bathroom)
• coffee maker
• hair dryers
• iron
• ironing board
• toaster
• toilet paper
• paper towels
• napkins
• cleaning supplies (think windex, fantastic, pledge, etc)
• laundry baskets
• laundry detergent
• dryer sheets
• trash bags
• silver ware
• plates
• cups
• dish towels
• dish rags
• dish washing soap
• dishwasher detergent
• can goods & non-perishable foods
• salt & pepper sets
• basic spices (ex. garlic salt, onion salt, cinnamon) 
• Twin & double bed linens
• bath towels and wash clothes
• vacuums  
• pots & pans

Shampoo, Conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving supplies, deodorants and toiletries as such can easily be obtained from the American Red Cross and we have easy access to them. I am currently working with Pampered Chef to get cooking utensils. And we are hoping Tupperware will assist us with some storage supplies. Thanks again for your support!

Please contact Mark and let him know what you are donating. He needs to keep his records accurate. Due to IRS and CFC regulations, he is required to document all donations. You can reach him at helpota@operationtroopaid.org today!

Please contact Operation Troop Aid if you would like a donation letter for your taxes. You can reach him at helpota@operationtroopaid.org and Mark Woods is the President of the organization. OTA is a IRS certified 501 (c) 3. If you are mailing anything please send it to SSG Chaz & Jessica Allen 1200 East West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910. OTA is based in TN and we don't want OTA to take on the shipping expense. They are already doing so much for our soldiers! Thanks again for any and all help!!!
