Treats 2 Troops 2018

We want everyone serving overseas with Fairchild AFB to receive a holiday package from us here in the Inland Northwest. The packages are filled with small 'treats' to let our service members know that we are thinking of them here at home!

Imagine, being far from home during the holiday season and missing all the food, fun, and family that is associated with this time of year. That's exactly what our military men and women face throughout the season.

We can't bring them all home but we can send a bit of the Inland Northwest to each of them. That's why we started Treats 2 Troops. KREM 2 teams up with the Kalispel Tribe, Northern Quest Casino, Washington Trust Bank, and Fairchild AFB to make sure some home travels around the globe to our service members. As we say: We remember, we didn't forget, and a package is on its way!

Helps us fill each package with good thoughts and special treats. It's easy to do and fun for all ages.

Below is a 'Top 10' list of suggested items. These are not the only items to be donated, but can give you an idea of what we can easily send to our deployed troops around the world. Please note: Homemade holiday cards - especially from kids - are met with smiles!

  • Cliff bars
  • Protein bars
  • Nuts/sunflower seeds
  • Hot sauce (single serving packets)
  • Hygiene wipes
  • Via packs (instant coffee)
  • Beef Jerky/beef strips
  • Stationary supplies
  • Small handheld games/card games
  • Gum/hard candy

Just know that with each package comes a few moments of laughter, kindness, and goodwill. And really, isn't that what the season is all about?
