Sharing Holiday Messages with Heroes

It’s that time of year again! The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes have teamed up for the fourth annual Holiday Mail for Heroes program.

From now until December 10th you are invited to send holiday cards to our American service members, their families, and veterans all over the world. Anyone can send a card and you can send as many as you would like! Please send all cards to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes PO Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

The deadline for this year is December 10th. Unfortunately, if your cards are not postmarked by December 10th they cannot be delivered. After Pitney Bowes collects and screens the mail received in the PO Box, Red Cross workers deliver holiday greetings to service men and women in their communities. If you have multiple cards you can put them all together in one large envelope rather than posting individually. Just leave the individual envelopes unsealed, so the cards can be screened easily.

This is such a great way to give back and show how much we care for and support those working daily to insure our safety and freedom. And what a fantastic opportunity to get kids involved, whether it's in your own family, at your children's clubs or in their classrooms. Please consider participating this year!
