Maci is the granddaughter of Connie Beacraft, one of the OOIDA staffers in charge of assembling the care packages. (photo by Connie Beacraft).

OOIDA staff volunteers spent time Wednesday morning, April 15, preparing the latest shipment of care packages paid for by the Truckers for Troops Telethon donations. Truckers donated more than $54,000 this past December for the care packages, which are being sent to U.S. troops in war zones across the world.
