Project Angel Tree

Operation Shoebox — Soldier Care Packages

As part of President Ronda Williams’ community involvement for 2009-2010, MCBA adopted two soldiers (one man & one woman) who are stationed overseas fighting in Afghanistan and/or Iraq through the organization Operation Shoe Box. 
 
MCBA has committed to sending a monthly care package to each soldier.  The things our soldiers need are simple and inexpensive but very necessary.  MCBA members have helped by contributing needed items (see list below) to our hard working, self-sacrificing men and women in an effort to make life a little more comfortable during their overseas deployment. 
 
Care Package Supplies can be donated at each MCBA monthly meeting - the last Wednesday of the month @ Harris Stowe College.  ALSO, the soldiers LOVE to receive letters/postcards.  Feel free to write a postcard with a supportive greeting or words of encouragement!! 
 
Operation Shoebox - Founded in 2003 in an effort to send support, healthy food, and much needed personal care items to our troops deployed outside of the USA, the Community is encouraged to support their fighting men and women deployed overseas in these dangerous times. The most frequent response from the "boots on the ground" is that receiving mail from the home front is a huge morale boost!
 
Take time today to send a care package.

Project Angel Tree

Project Angel Tree 2009 (newly named Motion for Kids) was an
enormous success. MCBA far exceeded its commitment to sponsor
10 Angels with the phenomenal support of MCBA members and was
able to sponsor an astounding 24 Angels this year.
Project Angel Tree is an event MCBA looks forward to participating
in annually and MCBA looks forward to the opportunity to participate
again next year.

About Project Angel Tree

Project Angel Tree is an annual holiday party held at the Edward
Jones Dome and sponsored by the Bar Association of Metropolitan
St. Louis and the St. Louis Rams for more than 3,000 local children.
The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis held its first Angel Tree
holiday party in 1992, to benefit area children with a parent in the
Missouri prison system. Since Angel Tree's inception, it has grown
each year and now includes children in the foster care system. For
