Supports Troops with Care Packages

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Effective Student Marketing (ESM), a Boston-area student marketing company, is teaming up with New England Caring for our Military Inc. (NECFOM) to provide care packages to U.S. troops overseas. ESM will be collecting several items such as deodorant, razors, socks, magazines, and calling cards to send to our troops overseas to show our support and help make their lives a little easier.

“We are thrilled to work with a local organization like New England Caring for our Military that supports our community members who are on active duty in the U.S. armed services.” says Director of Client Services, Julie Foley. “As an organization, we wanted to show support for our troops, and at the same time inspire others to do the same. It’s a great honor to be able to give back to the brave men and women who are doing so much overseas.”

When Foley recommended that the company become involved with NECFOM, ESM president Andy Kelley was so enthusiastic about the idea, he decided to kick-off ESM’s charity endeavor at the company’s September 19th Open House celebrating ESM’s new offices located at 2 Dundee Park, Ste. 302A in Andover MA. Guests have been invited to participate by bringing donated goods to the Open House event.

ESM will also be accepting donation items from the public at its Andover office. Supplies must be received by September 26th. For donation and delivery information, call ESM Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 978-475-0880.
