Adopt-A-Soldier Door County sent out care packages for the holidays to troops deployed overseas a month ago, but they have not yet gotten to local soldiers. President Nancy Hutchinson says the delay is taking longer than normal. Sometimes, during parts of the year when mail is light, packages are held over until there is enough to fill a whole pod to send to a unit. That shouldn’t be an issue around the holidays though. Hutchinson says she can’t track packages past Chicago’s O’Hare Airport but she does have an ace up her sleeve.

Beginning in 2020, care packages will go out only four times a year.
