We are a Military Police unit. We are on a small base with no PX. We are in short supply of linens for our beds (sheets and blankets) It gets cold where we are at. We also need washing powders and any type of rugs for our floors. We also need a hand held vacuum. Any cold weather socks would also be good. Hand warmers would also be nice. Any type of small lamp would also be useful. Also a few small plastic bowls for cooking stuff in the microwave. Rechargeable batteries is also something we need. Thanks for any help.
