If you have a friend or family member serving in the military overseas, drop his or her name and address off at Lafayette Savings Bank. The bank is participating in the 'We Care Program.' Hundreds of items have been dropped off at local branches. About 30 packages will be sent out this week. Organizer Carol Barker says now the group could use the names of other military service men and women who would like to receive a care package. If you know of someone, just drop off a name and address at an Lafayette Savings Bank branch.
Laura Hitze is also helping with the 'We Care Program.' Her husband, Jacob, is with the 209th Quartermaster Company in Iraq. The Lafayette based Army Reserve Unit is expected to return home at the end of the the month. Stay tuned for news about the group's homecoming.
