For the past five years, citizens of Forsyth County as well as surrounding counties have come together in force to support our American deployed Soldiers through the Treat the Troops Program. With our recent Christmas packing, we have shipped a total of 6,562 large, priority mail boxes, containing 781,178 homemade cookies, and literally thousands of pounds of comfort food items to our Troops. Each box also contained a variety of notes and letters providing those protecting us “a little bit of home.”
