Shoeboxes for Soldiers
Shoeboxes for Soldiers 2025
95.3 The Bull is proud to be, once again, packing Shoeboxes for Soldiers with help from Eldridge Roofing and Green State Credit Union in Rockford and Freeport! Our collection efforts started in 2019, gathering in demand supplies for our troops. Since then, we've sent over 2,300 boxes overseas. We are now going into our 7th year, and with your help, this can be the biggest year yet.
Our collection period for 2025 is over now, but you can always check back here for updates on Shoeboxes for Soldiers. Right now, we're packing up boxes daily and aiming to send them off real soon!
We will share all the awesome messages we receive from our troops right here and on the air, too.

The Bull Rockford Alexa Skill
WHAT IS A CUSTOM ALEXA SKILL?
- Amazon’s voice service is called Alexa. Much like your phone has an “app”, your Amazon devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Tap, Echo Show, etc) have skills. Users interact with their Alexa enabled device via skills.
- Skills can be “default” – meaning they come pre-enabled on your Alexa device, or they can be “custom”. Custom skills are searchable in the Alexa Skills Store and offer a more robust feature set.
ARE CUSTOM ALEXA SKILLS FREE FOR ALEXA USERS?
Yes, custom Alexa skills are free for users to enable and interact with on their Alexa-enabled devices.
HOW DO I ENABLE THE CUSTOM ALEXA SKILL FOR 95.3 THE BULL?
(YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO DO THIS ONCE!)
To enable, you have three options:
- Search Amazon.com/skills for The Bull Rockford Skill & enable
- Open the Alexa companion app on your mobile device, search for The Bull Rockford Skill & click enable
- Say “Alexa, enable The Bull Rockford skill”
ONCE MY SKILL IS ENABLED, HOW DO I USE IT?
- Simply say “Alexa, play The Bull Rockford”
- Skills have sets of features/abilities that you can access simply by asking. Until you are familiar with a skill’s abilities, use Help or Options voice commands to hear what a skill can do. When you know what features are available, ask for your specific course of action.
Currently you can listen live with The Bull Rockford Skill, and we’ll be adding more custom skills in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned!
