Local organization bringing joy to the women behind the soldiers

Local organization bringing joy to the women behind the soldiers

This is the time of year when U.S. soldiers stationed all around the world will be getting care packages and letters of love from family and friends. But it's often their wives, fiancés, or mothers who are forgotten. Two local women are working to change that by bringing joy to the women behind the soldiers.

Vickie Durfee is the director of Full Circle Home. Three years ago her son, who was serving overseas in the military, wanted to send a gift to his girlfriend for Christmas so Vickie packed a box full of 12 little gifts and sent it out. She says, “I kinda got this idea that maybe I could do this for more of the guys because they all deserve it.”

Word got out and soon enough, requests from soldiers started pouring in. The first year Full Circle Home mailed out about 150 boxes; this year they are up to 700.

The boxes are filled with little gifts from Mary Kay -- things like lip gloss, body spray and hand cream.
