For the last few years I had the privilege to spread the word about a special project that sends greeting cards to our troops.

Michelle Wvhs, organizer of Project CARD ONE, says “There are plenty of cards to share and we can always use more to distribute. All of my card angels are fantastic and have been receiving the cards throughout the past year!”

“Their beautiful words of hope, strength and gratitude mean the world to our soldiers. I appreciate all the helping card angels that have supported our project”, says Michelle.

‘Pay it forward’ to honor service men and women by sending and saving this year’s holiday cards. Another benefit, it is going green for such a wonderful cause.

To participate in Project CARD ONE, please donate used or new holiday cards. If sending used cards, tear off the decorative front to create a postcard, then either write a personal message to a service member or leave blank. No envelope is needed.
