Roza Lyons is helping out Southie native Kelly Conroy with the Adopt a Platoon care package drive!

Items they are looking for:

- cookies + granola bars
- books, magazines, playing cards + games
- socks, toiletries + person items
- whiffle bats + balls, footballs, soccer balls or any sporting items.
