All our members have family and friends in the military. We provide emotional support to each other and anyone else who wants to join us. We also raise money to help assist local injured soldiers and their immediate family, as well as assist families of local soldiers killed in action. Our group also mails care packages to deployed soldiers every 6 weeks to help boost their morale. We would like to include as many as possible but we need addresses given to us. Addresses are kept confidential. Email the address to one of our moderators and we'll include them in our next mailing. Do not post addresses, troop locations or troop movements on this web site as we don't want to jeopardize troop safety. Our support group meets every Thursday at 7:00PM at the Red Cross, 452 N. Barry St., Olean, NY 14760. Phone # 716-372-5800. All are Welcome! Check our calendar for special events and if you would like one added and are not a moderator, contact one of us with the info and if appropriate, we'll be glad to add it to our site.
