'We LOVE our Military' campaign provides people of the Lowcountry a way to give back to those who sacrifice so much
Patriots Point Development Authority (PPDA) will be gathering items from now through the end of February to send to deployed military to provide them a few of the luxuries from home they wouldn't otherwise receive.
To show how much 'We LOVE our Military,' PPDA has partnered with the American Red Cross, WCBD News 2 and Clear Channel to collect items to be distributed to military units that are currently deployed overseas. From now until February 28, anyone can donate any number of items from an approved list (found here) at one of the four drop-off locations to demonstrate their appreciation:
•American Red Cross Donation Center at 200 Sam Rittenberg Boulevard in West Ashley
• American Red Cross Donation Centers at 920 Houston Northcutt Boulevard in Mount Pleasant
• The Ship Store at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
•Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum's Visitor's Parking Lot Gate House
The donation of an approved item at Patriots Point's Gate House can be made in lieu of the $3 parking fee
PPDA will be collecting donations throughout the coming weeks.
