July 4th Weekend Shows Support for our Troops
As we celebrated Independence Day, the community turned out at our events to support the young men and women fighting for our freedom. Our volunteers were at work Saturday morning with the Applebees breakfast in Gainesville which raised over $1700.  On Sunday our volunteers were out again in force at the July 4th celebration in Alachua where we picked up right at $1600.  Thank you to those who worked and those who supported.  God Bless America.

The Military Support Group of Alachua County is a non-profit (501 C 3) organization that provides support to the soldiers serving overseas by sending packages on a monthly basis and supports their families by providing a place to meet each month and a pot luck dinner, supplies to fill boxes for their loved ones and postage to mail these boxes.  100% of the money that we receive is used for these purposes. There are no paid members of the group…all of the work is done by volunteers. The only administrative money spent provides funds to keep our federal 501(c)3 status and our non-profit Florida corporation status.

Thank you for helping us with this important work of supporting our troops.
