Operation: Care and Comfort needs help with assembling care packages for the troops

Members of Operation: Care and Comfort assemble care packages each month for the troops. This is a great way to meet new friends and for students to earn community service hours. The group is looking for more volunteers to help out at their next assembly meeting on Sunday, July 23, from 10 a.m. “until we are finished” at the American Legion Post #318, 1504 Minnesota Ave., San Jose, 95125.
