I received this e-mail from a Soldier's Angel and am happy to help such a great organization get the word out by posting it.
Hello. My name is Lisa ****** and I'm with Soldiers' Angels. We are currently working on our Christmas from Home drive and we are coming up short on donations. We were wondering if you would be kind enough to post the following news release on your blog. It is our goal to see that every member of the Military receives a little piece of home for Christmas. If you can't we understand but if you could we certainly would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Lisa ******

Press Release
Holidays For Heroes
Soldiers' Angels Need Your Help
Pasadena, CA. October 12, 2005 -- The Holiday Season is not far away and thousands of
America's bravest men and women who are standing watch over our freedom will not be
home to share this special time of year with their families and friends. Sadly, there are
many other deployed soldiers who have no family to send them a package or even a card
at this most special time of year. Many wounded will be celebrating in hospitals.
Soldiers' Angels, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that provides support to
deployed soldiers and wounded soldiers as well as their families, is hard at work on their
annual Holidays For Heroes stocking drive, where stockings stuffed with small but
welcomed items are sent to soldiers who are deployed in the Middle East combat areas
and hospital units.
Cash donations are needed to purchase supplies as well as to help with shipping the
stockings to the Middle East. Also needed are Holiday Stockings (homemade with
special decorations and messages are wonderful, store bought is also great) as well as the
little presents to stuff inside such as:
- Individual packets of hot chocolate, cider or hot soup mix
- Candy (bite sized, individually wrapped, all kinds)
- AT&T Phone Cards (asking for this brand because it works in the Middle East
area)
- Hand held games (playing cards, battery games with batteries, please)
- Small puzzle books
- Miniature Menorah
- Small, signed Holiday cards from you and your families simply addressed to
"Soldier" or "Hero." Homemade Cards are Welcome! Be sure to enclose your
name and address
This is the perfect project for a church, school, club, business, family or for any group to
get involved and to participate!
Tax deductible cash donations to Soldiers' Angels, a 501 ( c) (3) organization, can be
made by going to the Soldiers' Angels website at www.soldiersangels.org and clicking on
the "Donations" button to donate using Paypal or by sending a check to:
Soldiers' Angels, 1792 E. Washington Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91104
Please make checks payable to Soldiers' Angels and make a notation that the check is for
the Holiday Spirit For Heroes fund.
