American Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes!

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

Thanks Snap! This is a great program.
