Spread holiday cheer this season by sending messages of support and thanks to service members, veterans and military families through the American Red Cross Holidays for Heroes program. We’re accepting cards and large banners that will be distributed to service members and families near and far.

Card and banner making is fun and easy. Families, schools, Boy and Girl Scout Troops, libraries and local businesses have all participated in this unique program, and many community members choose to host card and banner making events with friends, neighbors, or colleagues. Cards and banners may be delivered to military units, family groups, military and veteran hospitals, and veteran organizations throughout our region. Some banners may even be delivered to overseas installations and Red Cross stations.

Cards and banners will be accepted through Monday, December 3. Please see below for card and banner making tips as well as delivery instructions and the drop-off/mailing address for card and banner submissions.
