This holiday season, the store is collecting items to send overseas to an American serviceman the boutique is sponsoring through Hero Box. Bella Caley will be collecting items for its serviceman through February, so keep bringing items, even after the holidays are done!
The store got its first letter from our serviceman in December, and he loved the first box sent at the beginning of the month. Here’s what he had to say:
Hello Ladies,
I’d like to start off by saying thanks to all the ladies that contributed to the box I received- Cindy, Jenny, Caley and Laurie and to anyone else I might have missed. Thank you for the great items and the wonderful card you’ve send me. We need this stuff more than ever now since imports to this country is slowing down. I am very greatful for all that you Ladies do! We might be the hero’s at war but you Ladies are the true hero’s at home taking care of us while we are deployed… once again! Thank you!!
Things the store is looking for shoppers to donate include: chewy candy, energy drinks, razors, microwaveable nonperishable food and batteries (AA and AAA). See below for a full list of items.
The store kicked off its collection on Black Friday and will be sending its serviceman packages each month through March to lift his spirits! The Hero Box program is a nonprofit organization that supports deployed American service members by providing the physical items and moral support our heroes need when they’re far from home.
And while you’re at the store this holiday season, be sure to check out all the great gift ideas for women of all ages. Bella Caley has affordable jewelry, delicious scented candles, luxurious handbags and special holiday outfits to take you from the office party to New Year’s Eve on the town.
