Send holiday cheer to troops

The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes are again teaming up to deliver holiday cards to service members, their families and veterans.

The public is invited to send holiday cards through the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign until Dec. 7.

Cards will then be screened, sorted and boxed for delivery by Red Cross volunteers around the country, including in Omaha. The Heartland Chapter will be the only chapter in Nebraska to receive cards to sort for service members.

The cards will be delivered to military bases, veteran and military hospitals across the United States and around the world.

Holiday cards should be addressed and sent to:

P.O. Box 5456

Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
