The
Washington Township Police Department in a joint
effort with the Washington Township Veterans
Association will be sending care packages to US
military personnel serving overseas.
The
groups are particularly interested in sending packages
to soldiers from our local community. If you know of
any soldiers actively serving our country, please
forward their names and address to Det. Sgt. Mike
Pellegrino at
mpellegrino@wtpdmorris.org or Patrol Officer Rob
Oranchak at
roranchak@wtpdmorris.org. A phone message
providing the information may also be left on the
voice mail for Community Policing at 908.876.8309.
The
first batch of packages are set to be mailed to ten
local soldiers serving in Iraq during the second week
of February. The packages include personal items
and food. A second round of packages will be
mailed out in early March. The Washington
Township Police Department, the Washington Township
Police Benevolent Association Local 301, the
Washington Township Veterans Association and Dr. Glen
Molnar, DMD helped make this effort happen.
If you
know of someone serving overseas, or if you wish to
contribute to the effort, please contact either Det.
Sgt. Mike Pellegrino or Patrol Officer Rob Oranchak,
above. Your contribution goes directly to the
men and women serving overseas.
