FORT MEADE, Md. The Signal Corps Regimental Association (SCRA) Appalachian Chapter partnered with Soldiers and Civilians from 7th Signal Command (Theater) and units across the National Capital Region to deliver more than 700 toys and gifts to 100 children through its annual Angel Tree project, which wrapped up this week.
The initiative, coordinated by Master Sgt. Jennifer Eagles, brought together military units, local businesses, and community members to support families in central Maryland and strengthen relationships between Soldiers and the surrounding community.
“We have so many people and organizations to thank for this huge accomplishment,” said Master Sgt. Eagles. “Our success really shows how generous Army Soldiers and Civilians as well as local businesses can be when children are in need at the holidays.”
In addition to supporting these less fortunate families, the effort allowed Signaleers to build and strengthen community and military partnerships. The 21st Theater Signal Brigade, 114th Signal Battalion, Army Operations Group, Army Counterintelligence Command, 2D Military Police Detachment, and many donors from the local community surrounding Fort Meade joined 7th Signal Command Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC) Soldiers and Civilians in donating gifts for the Angel Tree drive.
Staff Sgt. Suzy Jeong assisted Master Sgt. Eagles with the logistics of managing the large volume of gift donations. Staff Sgt. Jeong meticulously tracked, sorted, and organized more than 700 donated items to ensure gifts were appropriately matched and delivered to the children in need.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the SCRA Appalachian Chapter, Soldiers and Civilians across multiple units, and community supporters, more than 100 children will enjoy a happier holiday season this year. Through outreach efforts such as this year’s Angel Tree gift drive, 7th Signal Command (Theater) HHC continues to serve its local community while upholding the Army values of selfless service and stewardship.
