On our front page this week, we'll be letting you know how you can help the family of firefighter Lt. Todd Krodle, a Hunt County native who was killed while fighting a fire in Dallas. Get a head start before the Shopper hits the streets by visiting the Guns and Hoses Foundation's website, where you can donate to their Survivors' Fund, currently benefiting the wife and two children of Lt. Krodle.
Also in this week's issue: we're gathering a care package for a brand-new soldier. Spc. Kyle Ford, of Greenville, a member of the National Guard, is currently serving his third tour of duty in Iraq. Show your support for Spc. Ford and the rest of our military by donating items to be shipped in a care package. If you're on a budget, or just feeling creative, cards, thank-you notes and letters of support are always welcome, as well. You can drop items off at our office at 3617 Wesley St. in Greenville, or send letters and cards to PO Box 906, Greenville, TX 75403, or to hcshop@swbell.net. Spc. Ford is interested in all things Western, and loves horses, guns, hunting and gummy bears (What we'd really like to know is: who doesn't love gummy bears?!).
For more information on more community events and deals on everything from Cadillacs to goats, check out this week's edition of the Shopper, coming to homes in Hunt County and to our website tomorrow.
