HOPE FOR HEROES
The Purpose:
To honor our country’s service men and women.
The Program
Chapters and/or individual
members of Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) will prepare and ship a care
package(s) to a service person stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan on or
near Veteran's Day. Involve your community and other organizations by:
-
Publicizing the fact that ESA is going
to gather goods and prepare packages for troops. If you’d like to
expand the program, contact other local businesses/service
organizations to assist you.
-
Locally, solicit the names of men or
women who might be serving in Iraq or Afghanistan to see if they
would like their service person to become a recipient of your Hope
for Heroes package.
-
Letting people know where and when you
plan to collect goods. Have a short program of thanks at a specific
time during the collection process to thank those who are helping,
and to gain additional publicity for your work. Be certain to
contact local media for coverage.
-
Assembling and mailing the packages.
Recruit volunteers to assist you if you’re working on multiple
packages. Let your state president know that your chapter has
participated in the program.
-
Make the program bigger by enlisting
the help of your Chamber of Commerce, local church groups, local
businesses, other volunteers, etc.
