Home Delivery
donation drive
Local volunteers this week wrapped up a hugely
successful donation drive to help U.S. soldiers serv-
ing overseas.
Organizer Barbara Peletier said longtime Ocean
Pines resident Anna Foultz was the inspiration for
the collection. Foultz, who passed away last year,
started the drive with her husband, Carl, and their
Star Charities nonprofit.
This year, a small group of volunteers set up in
the Ocean Pines Community Center parking lot and
gathered items

Volunteers worked with Salisbury-based non-
profit Operation We Care, which will package and
ship the goods in time for a holiday delivery to U.S.
soldiers abroad.
Peletier penned the following thank-you note to
the local community:
“Thanks to the generous people of Ocean Pines
and Ocean City, we were able to keep alive Anna’s
dream of supporting our deployed military during
the Holidays. With the assistance of Larry Walton
(AARP) and Candy Foreman (Kiwanis), Operation
We Care was a huge success.
“Also assisting was Sharon Hilty, who collected
donations in Ocean City in remembrance of her son,

Sfc. John-David Hilty.
“All donations will be boxed and shipped in time
for the holidays. If Anna was with us, she would say
‘thank you and God bless.’”
In total, Peletier said volunteers collected five
carloads of donations, including a big final day on Davis recognized
