Conicelli Honda

Conicelli Honda, 1200 Ridge Pike, Conshohocken PA, has announced the Holidays for Hometown Heroes drive during November and December 2008. The public is invited to participate along with Conicelli employees, friends, and family.

Holidays for Hometown Heroes is a project to collect and ship necessary items to US troops stationed in Iraq. Conicelli Honda has chosen for this campaign to sponsor US Marine Unit #43507 stationed in Iraq. A Wissahickon Fire Company fire fighter, Private Matthew O’Neill, is a Hometown Hero serving with Marine Unit #43507.

For this project, Conicelli Honda is cooperating with Operation Bedding, a local memorial fund based in Philadelphia, PA. The items will be shipped in January 2009.

Acceptable items to donate include foot powder, washcloths, boot socks, toothpaste, razors, lip balm, skin moisturizer, deodorant, twin sheets, and single pack powdered drink mix. Items should be new, unopened, and in the original packaging.

Donors may alternatively choose to “Build a Box” for a $20 donation, and have a boxed assortment of items sent to a soldier, with a personal letter if desired. Letters may be addressed to “Dear Soldier Marine Unit #43507.”

Operation Bedding was established to honor the memory of Roxborough PA native Lance Corporal Adam C. Conboy, who died May 12, 2006, while serving in Iraq.

Donations may be brought to any of the Conicelli Autoplex showrooms or to the Carriage Trade Public Auto Auction, at 1200 Ridge Pike, Conshohocken, PA 19428, or the Conicelli Body Shop at 1327 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, and placed in the box provided in each showroom.
