American Red Cross offers mail to service members and veterans

Until December 7, the public is invited to send a “touch of home” through holiday cards that contain messages of cheer and appreciation. The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes will screen cards for hazardous materials, sort and package the cards and deliver them to military bases and hospitals, veteran's hospitals and other locations during the holidays. Pitney Bowes is providing all screening, packaging and shipping at no charge. The Red Cross will utilize hundreds of volunteers to sort and box cards for delivery to service men and women, veterans and family members in November and December. Holiday cards should be addressed and sent to: Holiday Mail for Heroes, PO Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456.
