Ruth Ann Young, of Kirkland, Wash., organized a group that established a goal of sending 1,000 packages to soldiers overseas. The group surpassed that goal by collecting material for about 6,200 packages.
The packages, weighing about 40,000 pounds, arrived at Fort Riley on Monday in two semitrailers...
"They raised over $210,000 worth of contents for the packages, so it's pretty monumental," he said. "The whole town of Kirkland, basically, was involved in it."
