The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes Inc. are teaming up to send holiday cards to members of the military and their families in the U. S. and around the world.

Until Wednesday, December 10, the public is invited to send holiday cards with their message of thanks and cheer to a special post office box. The Red Cross and Pitney Bowes will then screen cards for hazardous materials, sort and package the cards, and deliver them to military bases, veteran’s hospitals and military hospitals during the holidays.

Last year, the effort garnered more than 600,000 cards for wounded servicemen and women, and the hope is to collect more than one million cards and holiday greetings.

“From the front lines to the home front, for more than 125 years, the American Red Cross has provided care and assistance to service members, their families and Veterans,” said Angie Laskarides, executive director of the Berrien County Chapter. “This is way for every member of the public to lift the spirits of military members, their families and veterans during this season. It’s as easy as signing your name.”
