SU's Alpha Phi Omega Collects for Operation We Care Saturday, April 11

Operation We CareSALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) national co-ed service fraternity is challenging the community to support military troops serving overseas.
   
From 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, April 11, APO members collect items at the North Salisbury Walmart for care packages sent to soldiers through the local non-profit organization Operation We Care. Needed items include canned pop-top pasta, granola bars, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, microwave popcorn, toaster pastries, instant tea bags, and personal hygiene items including deodorant, shampoo, body wash and dental floss.
   
APO’s goal is to collect enough items to help fill 600 care packages to be sent to troops in time for Memorial Day. The organization also will sell rubber ducks for $1 each to help offset the cost of postage.
