Send Greetings to the Holiday Mail for Heroes Program

Write holiday greetings to service members this season through the American Red Cross.

The Holiday Mail for Heroes program is gearing up to send thousands of holiday greetings to members and veterans of U.S. Armed Forces, many of whom will be far from home over the holidays.

Between now and December 9, the public is invited to send messages of cheer and appreciation. Pitney Bowes is donating their mailing services and the Red Cross will sort the cards for delivery to service men and women, veterans and family members in November and December.   

Here is more information about how to participate. The site has tips and a downloadable flyer that can be personalized for those who wish to host card- signing events.
