Why "Operation Handwarmer" ?
In 1991 Burt Sappenfield had a 40 foot container donated to fill with donations. The container was shipped to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm and he was able to personally deliver the items to the soldiers. Burt saw first hand what a care package means to a soldier 8,000 miles away from home. When the soldiers open the care packages, there were no words to describe the gratitude that was evident on their faces. Our care packages go to troops operating in environments overseas that are sometimes hostile or in areas that are not easily accessible. Our donations go to the 1st Battalion 75th Rangers, the 160th Soar "Night Stalkers", the 3rd ID, and other military personal.
"Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them" Proverbs 3:27
Ki Clymer collecting hand warmers to support Operation Handwarmer
A boy from Cub Scout Troop 6061, Ki Clymer, contacted "Operation Handwarmer" because he wanted to collect hand warmers in his community as his service project to support the troops.
"It’s stories like this one that warm your heart and make you realize the many lives impacted by Operation Handwarmer…an idea thought up by one of our generous Premier Providers, Burt Sappenfield, and carried by CENTURY 21 Larry Miller Realty and CSRA Home Connections" Lindsey Folley
