The Wanaque Police Department collects supplies for the children of Afghanistan

The Wanaque Police Department's Capt. Ken Fackina will be collecting school supplies and children's clothing for a US Marine group who is restoring Now Zed, a town in Afghanistan. The Marines have requested these items instead of stuff for themselves. Ya gotta love em!! If you would like to donate anything please drop it off at the Police Department and tell them its for Capt. Fackina. Thank you.

The first shipment has arrived in Afghanistan. Below is a photo that was sent in. You can still donate.

For those who haven't seen this yet, here is a pic of Lt Col Martin F Wetterauer USMC with the
first shipment of packages that we sent to Afghanistan for the kids. Hopefully we will get
some more pics when the stuff is distributed. Thanks again to all who supported this effort!
You did a great job! My office is filling up and another shipment should go out shortly
so there is still time to donate if you want to. - Wanaque PD
