Care Packages
Care Packages - everyone likes to get a package from their loved ones. But gosh darn it what do you put into the darn thing? Well, we have assembled some ideas along with a break down by zipcode of restrictions imposed by the prevailing authorities and created this section.

These ideas are just that ideas. They have been assembled from various places, personal suggestions, past newsletters, and personal experiences. Feel free to use what you want, to experiment, and most of all make your service person remember what it was like before they left.

About Food Items

Before contemplating what food to include in a care packages - REMEMBER be practical! It does no good to send something that your favorite person will either not have the means to prepare -OR- have to carry with them should they need to travel. It is a waste of money to send it, if it is unusable.

You should also consider whether it will arrive in an usable condition. In other words - if it melts, spoils, or can be contaminated you may want to reconsider the selection.

The identified items typically can survive long distances. (and like the old Timex slogan - they can take a licking and keep on ticking.) They should make it there fresh and shouldn't spoil and/or crumble (hopefully).
