In this season of hope and giving, the American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes have joined forces to invite Americans to send a touch of home to United States service members and veterans across the country and abroad. In its third year, the “Holiday Mail for Heroes” program is an opportunity to share joy and thanks with our service members throughout the holiday season by way of a greeting card.
Today more than 1.4 million men and women serve in the U.S. armed forces and more than 24 million veterans have served in the past. The holiday season is the perfect time to honor and extend a warm holiday greeting to those who've served and continue to do so.
Cards can be sent to: Holiday Mail for Heroes, P.O. Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456.
Every card received will be screened for hazardous materials by Pitney Bowes and distributed to participating Red Cross chapters nationwide. Once the cards arrive at the chapters, they are sorted and reviewed by volunteers who then distribute them to service members, their families and veterans in communities across the country.
Holiday cards will be collected through Dec. 7.
