US Armed Forces Mothers in the Community
Marching in a parade at the Logan Valley Mall
Meetings: We meet on the third Thursday of every month from January through November at 7 PM. Our meetings are held inside the Holiday Inn Express Conference Room which is located at 3306 Pleasant Valley Blvd, Altoona, PA.
Activities: We partake in a variety of activities throughout the year that include marching in parades, volunteering at Veteran's homes, preparing our annual Christmas boxes, and occasionally hosting the different bands from all branches of the military. We enjoy taking part in any community-based events because it helps to raise awareness about our local military members, provides us with an opportunity to expand our presence, and allows for us to gain new supporters from around the area. At these events, you may find us at our tent where we will be able to provide you with further information about our organization and we also have military merchandise on display for purchase.
ARMED FORCES DAY: MAY 18, 2013 AT THE JAMES E VAN ZANDT WALL THAT HEALS (ALTOONA PA) 9AM TO 3PM. COME TO OUR BOOTH FOR INFORMATION.
MARIANNA'S HOAGIE SALE: ORDERS TAKEN UNTIL MAY 16, 2013. DELIVER DATE MAY 30, 2013. CONTACT KAREN MCGRAW 814-946-3438 FOR INFORMATION.
Christmas Boxes: This is one of the biggest events that we partake in throughout the year and it requires a great deal of effort and planning to ensure things run smoothly. Many of the boxes contain donated and purchased items that have been accumulated throughout the year, as well as homemade cookies and candy made by all of the mothers. Though we plan for it all year, we begin packing the boxes after Thanksgiving and sending them out by the end of November so they may be in the possession of our service members by Christmas. We are willing to accept any donations that individuals wish to make to our service members and firmly believe that no contribution is to small, whether it be an item or just their time. If you are interested in making any kind of donation, please feel free to contact one of us by using the information provided on this website. This can be found under the "Contact Information" tab.
