Care Packages for our Troops

Below is a list of items that you can donate to The Weekly Vista office at town center in Bella Vista.  When the Vista collects enough to fill a box it is mailed to Service Men and Women in our Armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The items may seem insignificant to us here but they are things that the Troops can't readily get over there.  So when you are shopping the next time think about out Troops and pick up a few items from the list below and drop it by The Vista office and they will take care of it.

Here are some items collected and ready to be boxed and shipped.
