The USO of Missouri

 

This year, WeCareMO.org is hosting the 2009 Toys for Tots Christmas Party inside Crestwood Court.  This is a fundraising event to benefit both the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation and the USO of Missouri Inc.  In addition, we will be organizing a cookbook featuring recipes and coupons from local, independently owned restaurants to be availible in March of 2010.  Thank you for supporting our troops and the USO of Missouri Inc.
