Operation Shoebox

This time every year, Operation Shoebox collects, assembles, and packages all kinds of travel-size items for distribution to our military members both here and abroad.

To show appreciation to our service men and women for their continued efforts on our behalf, the Mattapoisett Lions Club is supporting this project with collection boxes placed at the following Mattapoisett locations:

Mattapoisett Chiropractic Center at 109 Fairhaven Road

First Citizens Federal Credit Union at 2 Fairhaven Road

Mattapoisett Free Public Library on Barstow St.

Panino’s (outside) at the Ropewalk on Route 6 in Mattapoisett

Items needed are numerous and include, but are not limited to, all sorts of travel sundries like tooth paste, tooth brushes, Q-Tips, disposable razors, shaving cream, deodorant, lip balm, shampoo, sanitizing lotion, chap sticks, etc. Other travel size items like AA batteries, paperbacks, chewing gum, duct tape, DVDs, playing cards, pencils, single-serve munchies, sunscreen, etc. will be well received and much appreciated.

If you know of someone in the service, a family member, friend or neighbor, please email their address to PDG Joe Rizzo at joseph.rizzo.jr@gmail.com for placement on our list to receive a care package.

Please consider donating items for Operation Shoebox. Collection boxes will be in place until October 31.
