VIDEO: Local Heroes Hits Milestone

There were mountains of snacks, toiletries, and other items stacked on tables inside on Wednesday night. Then, within minutes, everything vanished.

During the latest weekly meeting of the non-profit organization, Local Heroes put together 45 care packages to send to troops serving overseas. The 15th box sealed served as a milestone, the 15,000th Local Heroes has packaged since it was established in 2004.
