New England Caring for our Military Inc.

Sending care packages to our troops and assisting military families in need

The care package drive that was held at the Methuen Senior Activity Center in memory of Marine Pfc. Eric Currier was EXCEPTIONAL. We collected 750 care packages estimated to weigh 3,750 lbs. All these items will be shipped to Methuen's Kyle Desroche and his unit of the 3/172 Inf. Mtn. out of NH who are stationed in Afghanistan. Lets give thanks and pray for both families. Thank you to all who volunteered. Everyone was just amazing and we finished on time within the 2 hours we estimated. It was organized chaos and the job well done. Thank you to the approximate 50-60 volunteers and I would also like to thank the Currier/Boudreau family and the Curtis/Desroche family. ......."Semper Fidelis" and "Duty, Honor and Country"
