We are made for service...to care for eachother...

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38

I always hear people say that they want to help or volunteer but they just don’t have the time… There are always opportunities for us to help eachother that take very little time, please see the information below for a wonderful cause and service opportunity, a chance to make a difference. One day when I meet our heavenly Father I hope to look back on the life I have lived and know that although there will always be regrets, there will be many more times that I served him by serving others…
God Bless

Pencils for Peace

April 1-June 30, 2009, Fort Bragg FCU will be collecting school supplies to send to our troops in Afghanistan. Why? Because giving out the supplies enables our soldiers to build bonds of trust with the local people of Afghanistan which is so important for our soldiers' safety.
Into one gallon size plastic zip-lock bag put the following items:

- One pen
- One 8 x 10" or 9 x 12" lined spiral notebook
- Two pencils
- One pencil sharpener
-One small toy (ex- Beanie Babies, magic slates, coloring books, crayons, markers, hot wheels cars, frisbees, hair bows for the girls)
One healthy treat (ex- fruit roll up or box of raisins)
-You can also include a thank-you message for a soldier or treats for the soldiers (please do not send chocolate).

Drop off your baggie at any Fort Bragg FCU branch. We will place collection bins in our lobbies. You may also send a monetary donation (check preferred) made payable to Fort Bragg FCU and mail to:
Fort Bragg Federal Credit UnionPencils for Peace FundP.O. Box 70240Fort
Bragg, NC 28307
Please e-mail marketing@fortbraggfcu.org with any questions.
