Holiday Mail for Heroes
From the front lines to the home front, the American Red Cross
provides service members, their families and veterans with the care
and assistance they need.
For the second year in a row, we're collecting holiday cards to
distribute to American service members, veterans and their families
in the United States and around the world.
Our goal is to collect and distribute one million holiday cards to
spread holiday cheer and facilitate thanks to these brave individuals
and families.
Please send cards to this address, following the guidelines listed
below:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
Card Guidelines
Please follow these guidelines when mailing a card to ensure that
your card will quickly reach service members, veterans and their
families. Every card received will first be screened for hazardous
materials by Pitney Bowes and then reviewed by Red Cross volunteers
working in one of 16 sorting stations around the country.
All cards must be postmarked no later than (Wednesday, December 10,
2008.) Cards sent after this date will be returned to sender.
Participants are encouraged to limit the number of cards they submit
to 25 from any one person or 50 from any one class or group. If you
are mailing a larger quantity, please bundle the cards and place them
in large mailing envelopes. Each card does not need its own envelope
or postage.
Please ensure that all cards are signed.
Please use generic salutations such as "Dear Service Member." Cards
addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this
program.
Please send cards as opposed to long letters which delay a quick
review process.
Please do not include email or home addresses on the cards, as the
program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
Please do not include inserts of any kind, including photos, as these
items will be removed during the reviewing process.
All cards received may be used in program publicity efforts,
including appearing in broadcast, print or online mediums.
