We thank all of you who have donated cards, supplies and cash contributions and for those whose contributions we will yet receive.
We have one significant change in our organization; Susan
Kubira is no longer serving as a Board Member for From our Hearts. We thank her
for her service and all she has done to assist our cause. We will miss her wit and humor on our blog as she most certainly has a gift of the written word!
From the Board of From Our Hearts, we thank all of you for your continued support of our mission - to get those much needed cards (and I can say this with honesty as our boxes of cards empty as fast as they are received - as our chaplains tell us) into the hands of as many servicemen and women as we can!Most of the boxes that are waiting to be sent are now filled with only holiday cards - and From Our Hearts is in need of all types of cards - New baby, Get well, Sympathy, Miss You - all types of what we call "general cards" - our servicemen and women use these every day and they are in demand. Any type of card you would be able to find if you were to walk in to a store to purchase a card for any occasion - this is what our servicemen and women need.
New chaplains are requesting our boxes (and that is 250 cards!). Sunday, September 13, From Our Hearts is sponsoring an event in Jefferson City for the public to stamp and make cards - last month, 400 cards were made - enough for almost 2 boxes - this month, 400 more will be prepared, ready to be stamped! We'll be "filling the gap" with those that are needed the most. 400 lives overseas will be impacted. As many will be touched here in the USA. Many of you are planning and/or holding events like this and donating your cards. We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
We are making a difference, one card at a time.
