APPLETON - The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes, Inc. are teaming up once again for the Holiday Mail For Heroes program.

Between now and December 9th, the two organizations will collect homemade holiday cards from a variety of local schools, businesses and specific events. They will then screen the cards, then ship them to troops stationed overseas.

Kids at Apple Tree Connections Day Care in Appleton are participating in the program. FOX 11's Angela Kelly spent Wednesday morning with them as they made their cards for troops. A couple of children who attend that day care also have parents who are currently serving our country. Click on the video links to your left to watch the segments.

Are you interested in sending a card?

You can mail it to:

Holiday Mail For Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
