Red Cross seeks cards for military
The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes are excited to be joining forces for the third year to Send a Touch of Home to military service members, veterans, and their families in the United States and around the world. The Holiday Mail for Heroes program will feature the collection, sorting and distribution of holiday cards for service members, veterans and their families.
End Date: All cards must be postmarked no later than Monday, December 7th, 2009. Cards postmarked after December 7th cannot be guaranteed delivery and may be returned to the sender. This deadline ensures enough time to sort and distribute cards before the holidays.
Mailing Address:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456.
Card Guidelines:
• Ensure that all cards are signed.
• Make cards more meaningful to a wide variety of recipients by using "Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran" rather than any more specific language. Note: Cards addressed to specific individuals cannot be delivered through this program.
• Limit the number of cards to 15 from any one person or 50 from any one school class, business or group. If you are mailing a large quantity, please bundle the cards and place them in large mailing envelopes. Each card does not need its own envelope, as envelopes will be removed from all cards before distribution.
• Do not send letters. Only cards are being accepted.
• Do not include e-mail or home addresses on the cards, as the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
• Do not include cards with excessive amounts of glitter. Because cards may be received by wounded service members and veterans in hospitals, large quantities of glitter could aggravate existing medical conditions.
• Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos, as these items will be removed during the reviewing process.
