Working with Guilford VFW Commander Larry Santamaria, A.W. Cox School 4th graders and members of Cub Scout Pack 475 were inspired to collect care package items to be delivered to active Connecticut troops overseas. Now, Guilford VFW is seeking donations to help cover the cost of postage to mail the care packages, like the ones being loaded up here by Pack 475 members Anthony Malatesta (left) and Michael Malatesta (right). For more information or to make a donation, call Guilford VFW at 203-453-9252.
