During the show, Torklift Central RV will collect donations and stuff an RV full of items to send to U.S. troops overseas. The business is collecting items such as non-perishable food, hygiene products, reading materials and games for troops. Local schools are submitting letters to send with the care packages as well.

A total of $455 was raised at last year\u2019s event to send the packages overseas. All the donations collected will be sent to Soldier\u2019s Angels, a non-profit group dedicated to sending care packages to troops stationed in various countries overseas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
