This year the Freedom Fest Committee and Emporia Main Street will be collecting items to send to our troops that are deployed over the winter months. Packages are typically sent to Kansas based military personnel, but we will take special request for packages to be sent out. We do ask that you provide the mailing information needed to send the package and that a donation is made to help with shipping. If you are interested in making a request, please complete the form found here: https://emporiamainstreet.com/events/soldiercarepackages/
If you would like to contribute to our cause, you can make a monetary gift through our online donation option or by dropping off funds to Emporia Main Street (727 Commercial Street). Funds raised will be used to purchase gift items from local businesses and for shipping costs. Here is a link to make a financial donation: https://emporiamainstreet.com/events/soldiercarepackages/
