Military members to receive care packages | Community Spirit

Members of the military serving overseas will soon receive reminders of home.

Blue Star Mothers are collecting snacks right now to send to the troops.

Its part of New York State Yellow Ribbon Day.

The women say it's a great way to help stock soldiers' frequently empty cupboards.

Collections continue outside Shop Rite in Niskayuna until 7p tonight.

Last year, Blue Star Mothers sent more 1,000 boxes of food to military overseas.
