Eight tons of support and counting: ​

Some 10 boxes, weighing over 100 pounds and carrying everything from breakfast bars, coffee, air fresheners, hand sanitizers, trail mix and home-baked goods, are on their way to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, thanks to Washington University’s Military Care Package group. With the November mailing, the group reached another milestone. Since 2004, WUSTL staff, students, faculty and administrators have donated, packaged and shipped more than eight tons of supplies to troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
