DSU News
Cape Cod Cares for Troops Care Packing event Always on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, DSU takes volunteers and 500+ pounds of candy to Bourne MA to distribute in over 1500 care packages for troops abroad. It is a remarkable event, meeting volunteers, veterans and family members of troops deployed. If you want to start a sweet family tradition and give back to the troops, email us at [email protected]. It is usually a 3 hour commitment (includes travel) but can be flexible to meet family schedules. Children must be accompanied by one parent.
