Third Annual Soccer Ball Drive
MooreMart will be hosting its third annual soccer ball drive on September 6th, 2008. The soccer balls collected will be shipped to American soldiers stationed in the Middle East . The soldiers distribute the soccer balls to the local children and orphanages throughout the Middle East.
To date MooreMart has shipped more than 1,000 soccer balls to Iraq and Afghanistan and we hope to ship at least 500 on September 6th.
If you would like to participate in this event you can drop off soccer balls, inflation needles and pumps at the Eaton Richmond Auditorium at Daniel Webster College on September 4th or the 5th from 9am to 5pm.
MooreMart began as a family effort to provide needed but unavailable supplies to our brother and his fellow soldiers serving in Iraq. Four years later we continue to supply soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan with anything they need that will make their job a little easier. In fact, we have been so successful in our mission that the soldiers have said that we "carry more supplies than Wal*Mart", and dubbed us "Moore*Mart".
Today we have expanded our mission to include the local children in both Iraq and Afghanistan. We send new school supplies, toys and outerwear to villages that never had a school or where the schools have been destroyed. Now, thanks to our servicemen and women and the Coalition Forces the local children enjoy the long awaited privilege of participating in the educational process.
