Last week, Sisters for Soldiers mailed care packages from the Auburn Post Office to soldiers deployed in the Middle East.

Mary Catherine Stewart, the founder of Sisters for Soldiers, is an Auburn University student and the Director of Benevolence for the Auburn University Panhellenic Council. When Stewart's brother, a Captain in the Army, was deployed to Iraq, she began sending packages to him, heard about other soldiers who were not receiving mail from home, and the group grew from there.
So far, Sisters for Soldiers has mailed about 250 packages, but the group wants to do so much more. They have assembled 1800 packages and are in the process of raising the funds for postage. More information about how we can help will be forthcoming.
