• Holiday Mail for Heroes!

    Nov 23

    Thanks to Shannon over at The Bargain Buggy for compiling this post!

    I have an address to add to your Christmas card list!!!

    The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes have partnered once again this year to send holiday cards to service members, veterans, and their families. This is a great way to express your thanks–by sharing kind words with those who have given a great deal to our country.

    Send your card to the address below. Be sure to read the guidelines carefully!

    Holiday Mail For Heroes
    P.O. Box 5456
    Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

    All cards must be received no later than Monday, December 7th.

    Please don’t forget to follow these guidelines while preparing your holiday greetings!
    Do…
    Sign all cards
    Entitle cards “Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran”
    Limit cards to 15 per person or 50 for school class or business group
    Bundle groups of cards in single, large envelopes (there is no need to include individual envelopes and postage for cards)

    Don’t…
    Send letters
    Include personal information such as home or email addresses
    Use glitter – excessive amounts can aggravate health issues of wounded recipients
    Include inserts of any kind as they must be removed in the screening process

    Find more information here on the American Red Cross site.
