Members of the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade Headquarters Company, Fort Hood, Texas, were adopted by Williamson County in 2007. As a result, the following year a successful drive to collect supplies for our soldiers serving at Camp Taji, Iraq, was conducted. Once again, local officials have received notice of the brigade’s early summer deployment to Afghanistan and have begun efforts to collect supplies for them.
Facilities and conditions in Afghanistan dictate the need for specific everyday items that will greatly benefit our soldiers while they are away from home. All items must be unopened and in their original container. Regular sized portions are recommended. Suggested items include:
Liquid Bath Soap
Shampoo
Conditioner
Lotion
Hand Sanitizer
Eye Drops
Toothpaste and toothbrushes (In original packaging)
Deodorant/Antiperspirant
Dental Floss
Mouthwash
Feminine Hygiene Products
AA Batteries
Magazines
