Operation Christmas Cards

"Loving our troops one card at a time"

Participation Info

How you can help:

**The deadline for the cards to be here in Massachusetts by November 28th!**
**Cards that come in after that date will be saved for 2012
**


We all have left over holiday cards every year, so why not put them to good use and spread some holiday cheer. Our deployed military men and women have sacrificed this time of year away from their families and loved ones so that we can enjoy the holidays safely and freely with ours.

Participation is very easy and we encourage everyone to help. Get your friends, families, communities, school, churches, child care centers, etc. involved in showing our troops they are thought of. We welcome cards of ALL faiths from anywhere around the world! The cards can be store bought or home made, but we ask that they are no bigger than 9x9 to fit into shipping boxes.

Do's and Dont's :

-do NOT seal the envelopes

-only write supportive and encouraging notes
-you may include email or mailing address
-stickers and glitter are OK
-envelopes may be decorated
-if mailing large quantities please ship in bulk. Its cheaper for you and easier for us.
-Please include the total amount of cards you send if mailing multiples. It helps us greatly!

Many people ask about postage. We mail the cards in bulk to the troops, so you do not need to include stamps on the cards. However, we operate strictly upon your donations and shipping costs are not cheap. Each box of  cards costs $12.50 per box and contains roughly 300-500 cards depending on the size of the cards. For the 2011 season we estimate a minimum of 450 boxes filled with cards will be shipped out. At $12.50 per box that starts our shipping costs at $5625 and does not include any of the administrative costs required to run Operation Christmas Cards.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and put directly toward Operation Christmas Cards. They can be made as a tax deductible gift to "Liberty Churches" and be sure to note that they are for Operation Christmas Cards.
100% of the donations go to Operation Christmas Cards.

PO Box 102
Shrewsbury MA 01545

or if using UPS/FedEx/DHL etc.:
