Holiday Mail for Heroes Program Overview
Even during the sizzling summer heat the American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes are gearing up for this year’s Holiday Mail for Heroes program.
It’s never too early to start planning your cards! Don’t forget that making holiday cards can be a great summer activity for kids while they are home from school! We’ll release more program details at the end of the summer, so watch this page for more information, including where to send your cards.
Looking Back at Holiday Mail 2009
The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes want to thank the American people for making last year’s Holiday Mail for Heroes program such a success. Here’s a look at how people across the country participated in last year’s program.
After Pitney Bowes collects and screens the mail received, Red Cross workers deliver holiday greetings to service men and women in their communities. Check out how our uniformed men and women and their families expressed their gratitude for the Holiday Mail program when it delivered cards to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Each year the American Red Cross provides assistance to over 2 million service members and many of our nation’s 24 million veterans. At the core of the Service to the Armed Forces mission is our commitment to support military families, military and veterans hospitals and provide emergency communications across the globe.
