Christmas Cards for Deployed Soldiers

10/19/2023

It is with a heavy, heavy heart that I have to announce that I will NOT being doing the Christmas card project this year. I'm not feeling well enough to do it.

I will reevaluate next fall.

I MIGHT have a card making gathering event next month to make cards for King's Veterans Home. Keep a watch here if you are interested in that.
If you have a group (girl/boy scout, ect) that would like to have a card making party and would like me to come with supplies please feel free to reach out to me. If it works out I would be happy to attend. (No charge).

If you'd still like to make cards I recommend making them for veterans and giving them to a local retirement home or to King's Veterans Home.

If you've already made cards for deployed service members you can find troops at www.anysoldier.com. I have personally used this site before and received thank you letters so I know it's a reputable site. Keep in mind packages would need to be shipped by December 5th at the latest to insure they arrive by Christmas.

All cards, no matter where they go, should NOT have any glitter. Even if the card is store bought with just a tiny bit of glitter do not use. The glitter melts and sticks in the hotter climates.

I am happy to answer any questions that may come up during your card making process. Feel free to post on this page in case others have the same question or you may send me a message.

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

All the Soldiers involved in this effort are military volunteers stationed in areas that are overseas. You send your support (letters and/or packages) addressed to them and when they see the "Attn: Any Soldier®" line in their address they put your letters and packages into the hands of Soldiers who...

A total of 1,283 cards were collected this year!! Thank you to all who made cards this year. Couldn't have done it without you.

A huge thank you to Red Robin Gourmet Burgers for being a drop off/pickup location again this year.

Also a huge thank you to American Legion Cook Fuller Post 70 for allowing me to use one of their rooms to host a card making gathering.

Merry Christmas.

PLEASE, if you took cards from Red Robin, return them. Even if they're not completed.

I dropped off several dozen packs but I've only gotten 7 packs back. That's a lot of lost cards. I normally buy them at Dollar Tree but they aren't selling them this year so the cost of purchasing cards just quadrupled.

I'll be collecting blank cards at Red Robin to use for next year until the beginning of January 2023. So please return the packs of cards.

If anyone has left over Christmas cards please donate them to my organization.

Thank you
Amy

Check out these amazing cards made by a group of kids in neenah. There were 146 total!!! I wish I post every single card because these kids did outstanding work. Thank you to the group that made them and the adults helping them.
I love knowing where the cards came from (scout troop, class room, home school group, ect.) So if you still have cards to turn in that were done by a group please include a note who made them. If you'd prefer I not post that information just let me know.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the cards!!

Deadline is approaching and there are still lots of cards out there. Dozens of packs of cards were at Red Robin for people to take home to do. I've only gotten 3 of those packs back so far. Please return them even if you didn't have time to do them. Thank you.
