Two years ago, Dr. Robert Strahl of Baltimore started A Taste of Home, a non-profit organization dedicated to sending care packages to U.S. troops serving overseas. After a few shipments, Strahl heard the words he was hoping for: “I can?t tell you how important it is for me and my men to know we are well-thought of,” from an army lieutenant. Since then, Strahl has dedicated himself to finding sponsors, raising funds, and sending out more packages than ever. Here?s the best part: one hundred percent of donations go to the purchase and shipment of items. Strahl pays all overhead costs out of his own pocket.
