Our Troops Need YOU!
Since 2006, tens of thousands of gift-boxes have been sent to deployed U.S. troops in hotspots around the world through the Military Moms’ annual Holidays for Heroes program. From October 15 to December 15, individuals and groups are invited to pick up a “Mailing Kit” at local businesses and churches and then pack and ship a box to one of our heroes. More than ever, those protecting our freedoms need to know how grateful we are for their service. Our Holidays for Heroes Thank You.
