Red Cross 'Holiday Mail Call'

Week of November 24, 2008

The American Red Cross announced that it will sponsor a national "Holiday Mail Call" program in 2008. Last year the Red Cross reviewed and distributed over 600,000 cards to our wounded servicemembers at hospitals around the country and overseas. This year the Red Cross wants to expand who is reached with the holiday greeting cards to include not only our wounded warriors, but all service members and their families, as well as veterans. The Red Cross's goal is to reach 1,000,000 persons this year to show appreciation for their service and wish them well over the holiday season. For a full list of recommended guidelines and best practices, please visit Redcross.org/holidaymail.

Remember, for holiday priority mail delivery to APO/FPO adresses, send by December 11.
