This really pisses me off! The military has turned off Chief Wiggles toy drive because you can't use an FPO address for charity! For crying out loud, we're spending 80 billion dollars to help these people and we can't get a few thousand packages to a bunch of kids. Look at those pictures. The kind of effort Chief Wiggles is making will pay huge dividends down the road. We could change one heart at a time. I'm going to write my congressmen or somebody in the administration. Who would make sense Bill? __________________________________________________ chiefwiggles.blog-city.com For now, an entry about the Toy Drive will always be on top. Please scroll down to read the latest journal entries from the Chief. Please note: We have just been given word that the military can no longer handle our shipping to Chief Wiggles. The volume has far exceeded what they are able to do. We are currently working on alternative shipping options. As soon as we have them in place, we will let you. You may still make cash donations at OperationGive.org. This means, DO NOT SHIP ANYMORE PACKAGES TO CHIEF WIGGLES AT THIS TIME. I used my emergency number to call Chief Wiggles and discuss the situation with him. He understands and is working on his end to keep this going. Plunge PS - We do NOT blame the military in any way, shape or form. We are very grateful for the packages that they have already delivered. We understand their position and thank them for their help and patience.
