Honoring Our Hometown Heros
STARTS WITH YOU
I just want to say thank you for all that you do and thanks to all the people that took the time to write and make the goodies that you sent! It’s an awesome organization and very appreciated. It is nice to be able to share all the stuff you sent with the other people in my squadron and show them how beautiful and caring Montana is. Again, thank you for all you do and know that it is appreciated! MSgt Jeremy
Christmas Boxes for Active Military
Adopt A Sox’s (AAS) mission is to recognize and thank our deployed Montana service men and women at Christmas, to show them that their own communities think of them and appreciate their sacrifices. To do this, we invite the community to donate a wide range of specific useful items, tasty treats, and fun distractions.
In 2021 we expect to ship over 750 boxes to deployed troops, our largest shipment ever. This will be a huge challenge but, with your help, we will get this done. We have received many nice notes from recipients who expressed their thanks to everyone involved.
Remember that this is a community effort — showing our military how much we appreciate their sacrifice. Thank you for your support!
Here is a box that arrived at its destination.
How We Got Our Name
When the organization was formed, many Montanans were serving our country and the community wanted to support them. The Adopt A Sox mission is to recognize and thank Montana military personnel stationed overseas during the Christmas holidays. The local effort to reach out and support those individuals enabled us to "adopt" a Montanan and, since the boxes are Christmas gifts, it has to include a Christmas stocking, or "sox". This resulted in Adopt A Sox!
