RALEIGH ? Donations from every county in North Carolina were used to create care packages for troops overseas.

During the State Employees' Credit Union's second annual campaign, the cooperative packed and shipped gift boxes to 5,000 N.C. National Guardsmen and soldiers.

"The love that we have for them, as much as you can put that in a box with items, we want them to feel the care that goes into putting these boxes together," said SECU Board of Directors Chairman McKinley Wooten.

Since September, community donations poured in to close to 240 SECU branches across the state.

"It's overwhelming. It has been everywhere in the building for about a month,? said SECU worker Kristy Arnold. ?It's taken them a really long time to separate and sort it, it's everywhere."

On Saturday, more than 130 SECU workers, their families and volunteers packed up the goods and greeting cards with well wishes. Lula Jones, 9, wrote a letter with a special message after helping to fill up boxes for the troops.

"I thanked them for doing all they can and I said good luck to them," said Jones.

SECU said the gift packages will be sent to 18 locations, mostly in Afghanistan.
