The Mattapoisett Veterans Service Office, in conjunction with Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops, will be organizing “Christmas Care Packages” for the soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Donating an item is an excellent way to let our men and women in uniform know that we care about them and that we haven’t forgotten about the sacrifices they are making on our nation’s behalf. If you would like to donate, please drop off your items in the boxes located at Mattapoisett, Rochester and Marion Town Halls by Wednesday, November 12. Any questions, contact the Veterans Office at 508-758-4100, ext. 212
