Operation Christmas Stocking

Operation Christmas Stocking

Mast General Store is partnering with Operation Give to provide Christmas Boxes for our troops in combat zones. Since 2007, with your help, we were able to send 452 boxes to our men and women overseas. We need your help again this year.

If you choose to wrap your own shoe box, top & bottom must be wrapped separately so the box can be opened for inspection or you may bring items to the Mast Store to be packaged.

Christmas cards or letters are so important! It would be nice to include a picture of yourself and an e-mail address. There is no guarantee that you will get a response but sometimes the soldier is able to respond, usually by e-mail.

Suggestions of Items to Send

CDs/DVDs • Deodorant • Jerky • Paperbacks • Lotion • Protein Bars Playing Cards • Eye Drops • Hard Candy • Pens/Mechanical Pencils • ?Sunglasses • Gum • Games • Dental Floss • Pre-packaged Snacks • Sunscreen Lip Balm • Shampoo/Conditioner • Audio Books • Bug Repellant • Socks?Disposable Razors • Stationery • Small Calendar • Small First Aid Kits Feminine Hygiene Products • Soap/Travel Containers • Cleansing Wipes • Our soldiers have requested small toys to carry with them to give to local children.

Please Designate Packages for Male or Female Soldier

DEADLINE for packages to the
Waynesville Mast Store is OCTOBER 10th.

Mast General Store will have a collection box in our lobby for donations of items or money. With the money collected, Mast Store will purchase items to fill boxes. Pre-filled boxes are available for you to purchase for $15.00 each.

This project is one way that we can let our soldiers stationed so far from home know that they are not forgotten and does not constitute an opinion of war, either for or against.
