Challenges: May

May’s challenges focus on supporting our troops! From simply sending a thank-you letter to donating supplies for care packages, to volunteering with veterans, there are so many ways we can show our support. Think not only about what you can do, but also what your friends, classmates, and neighbors can do too, and try to engage them! Not everyone can adopt a soldier or send care packages, but lots of people can write thank-you letters! If you’re having trouble finding something you are able to do, contact us and we’ll try and help the best we can.
