Our team of Volunteers work year-round to make all occasion and holiday cards for our Troops stateside and abroad. We frequently hear back from those who received our cards with grateful hearts because they had that special card to send back to their loved ones. Those words of thanks are what keep us going every day, year after year.
Card Guidelines
If you would like to support our mission by donating handmade cards, please review our guidelines below:
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, cards cannot contain any kind of glitter due to Military restrictions. That includes loose, paper, tape or glue glitter.
- Cards must be A2 size Cardstock (5.50” X 4.25”) with an appropriate envelope.
- We cannot use recycled cards; pre-used cards which are cut to make new cards.
- You can use foil or twine for decoration on the cards.
- Cards can have a sentiment on the front and a short greeting inside.
- Cards can be made with some dimensionals.
- When sending Holiday cards, they must be sent to us 3 months prior to the holiday in order to reach the Troops on time
- Cards cannot contain rhinestones, pearls, metal charms or large bows since these do not hold up well during mailing.
- Cards should not be signed.
- If your card is made with dark Cardstock, please adhere a white piece inside so they can write a message on it.
- Please do not put the card in the envelope.
- No dark envelopes please.
