Cards for Soldiers

[Simi]

This morning I received an email asking to send cards to an address in Washington for recovering American Soldiers. I was absolutely sick, when I looked into it more to find that it was a hoax. The address was not accepting cards for American Soldiers.

I looked on-line for organizations that were actually accepting cards and created a post on my blog.

I was wondering if you know of any organizations that are accepting or that do accept cards for soldiers and or their families.

I did find www.cardsforheroes.org, but do others exist as well.

If you know of any please share.

Thanks so much!

Check here for and address for SCS's Keri Sereika. She accepts cards and sends them to the troops.

Also, Beate Johns DH is in the Air Force, and if you check her blog here there is an address for you to send cards to.

there are actually quite a few Military spouses and Loved ones on the boards.

Next year all my stuff will go directly to wherever DH ends up.

I send to two units in Afghanistan and one in Iraq and gladly accept any cards or card fronts (I will make them into full cards) to add to my boxes.

Here's where I sent some -

Holiday Mail for Heroes is a partnership between the American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes to deliver one million holiday cards to American service members, veterans, and their families in the United States and around the world.


So when you're making your Holiday cards this year, make a few extras and send them to:

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

All cards must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, December 10,
2008.

There are many great recipients listed in this thread.
I also send to anysoldier.com -usually I receive a thank you and that is most rewarding. I include the cards in care packages containing snacks, toiletries, or other items.

SCS member SPRTCHICK has a project going on for cards for troops and she has sent THOUSANDS of cards over to the troops so far. Many SCS members send them to her and she fills the boxes and ships them.

When Beate's husband left his last posting, he arranged for someone else to go on receiving cards there. See a post on Beate's blog here for details - Blogs at Splitcoaststampers .
