Operation Sandbox

Pearson bought a few toiletries and treats and packed them in a box. She asked her daughter to write the Marine a letter. The package got shipped and Pearson didn't think anything more about it.

But soon, one good deed led to requests for thousands more.

On Thursday, Pearson and a group of about two dozen volunteers with Operation Sandbox Ga. — an organization she began with her daughter Julie to support the troops — held a packing party at Park Place Baptist Church in Snellville. The group stuffed tables of care packages with 2,000 pounds of goodies — snack food, letters, DVDs, candy and more — to help make the holidays happy for troops away from home.
