I just found out about a great organization which collects and sends hand-made Greeting Cards cards to deployed military personnel. They in turn, use the cards to keep in touch with their family and loved ones back home.. Over the past couple of years I have organized card drives to be sent to the military for this same use. I've been lucky enough to know a friend or son of a friend to send these specifically too! I will do more of these in the future I am sure. But right now this organization needs our help. They have grown from sending out a few boxes of cards each year to sending shipments every 4-6 weeks to more than 40 chaplains in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's ten to twelve thousand cards that are needed each month to meet the growing demand (10,000-12,000). Right now they are out of cards for Wedding, Best wishes, Miss you, Congratulation, Anniversary, and Sympathy. And they are running very low on on Thinking of you, Love you, best wishes and Thank you cards. Cards of all kinds are also needed! They need our help to keep the boxes of cards going out to the troops! Are you able to send a few cards, 10 or 20 cards or even more? Each card helps and each one is so appreciated by the military personnel who send them and their loved ones who receive them. Check out the From Our Hearts website. You will find numerous thank-yous and testimonies sent from grateful troops. You'll also find there a FAQ sheet which will answer all your questions about donating to From Our Hearts and a printable Inventory Sheet to include with the cards you send! Thank you for anything you can do |
