How You Can Help
There are many ways you can assist the Blue Star Moms Houston Area Chapter 2. First and foremost we want to support our family members through monthly meetings. Our monthly meetings occur the fourth Tuesday of each month. Our meeting location will be at the American Legion Hall at 307 Charles St, Humble, TX 77338. For meeting specific information see the calendar: (Calendar)
We have a place for you at our monthly meeting. We are always willing to listen, give hugs and offer encouragement and support. If you are looking for a supportive group that understands what it is like to have a son, daughter or loved one off to boot camp, recently deployed or who is actively serving in the Armed Forces, this is a place for you. We support each other through Care and Share at the meetings. We all have stories to tell about our family members and Blue Star Moms allows time in the meetings to share our joys and concerns. Through laughter and encouragement we support each other as we navigate these times with our family members so far away. If you are interested in getting involved as a volunteer with Blue Star Moms we have a place for you too whether you have a lot of time to donate or just a few hours a week. Please consider getting involved. Watch our website in the coming days for more information regarding specific opportunites to get involved.
Secondly, our organization gathers donations to pack care packages for service men and women worldwide. We are always willing to take donations for care packages. Please see the detailed list of care package items. Most of the items we ship in our care packages are donated by local businesses and private citizens. We set aside specific meetings to pack boxes and process them to be shipped to service men and women. These dates are on our calendar. (Care Packages)
The third opportunity you have to help our organization is through cash donations to the Blue Star Moms. The cost of shipping care packages is a major expense to our organization. You can easily support our group with a cash donation to help offset these shipping fees. Remember our organization is a 501 (c)(3) and your donations will be tax deducible. You may donate to Blue Star Moms through our website via Pay Pal or you can simply send a check to the address listed at the bottom of the page or click here for (Donations).
A fourth opportunity is through the Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor program. Click on the link to download and print the Customer letter with the bar code.
And last but certainly not least we promote our organization through activities in the community. If you have a service organization that you would like to have a Blue Star Mom Representative speak or attend please contact Mary Davis our President for 2010. We want to spread the word about Blue Star Moms. If you know someone who may benefit from a call or outreach from Blue Star Moms please contact us and we will follow up. We currently are members of the Kingwood Chamber of Commerce. We actively support the USO at IAAH, Fisher House at the Debakey VA Medical Center in Houston and the Kingwood Rotary Club . We also love parades and patriotic events. Please contact us with your event soon so we can get that on our calendar as well. (Contact)
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
