We Need Cash Donations! Our biggest expense is shipping and we are always in need of cash donations to cover this expense. Donations can be sent to Hero Hugs, P.O. Box 27, Niceville, FL 32588. We also are happy to accept gift cards for stores like Walmart, Kmart, JoAnn's and Michael's Craft store so we can purchase needed supplies for our packages. Gift Cards may also be sent to the above address. Please let us know if you need a receipt and include an address so we can be sure and thank you for your donation.
Attention School Teachers, Scout Leaders, Club Leaders and Sunday School Teachers.....Cards Needed! We are always in need of cards for our appreciation packages to soldiers. All year long we are in need of general/patriotic thank-you cards for the troops. We also always need Get Well Cards for our wounded soldier care packages. Our most popular get well card uses a band aid which is then made into something in a drawing. For example, the band aid could be a surfboard and then draw a surfer on top or the band aid could serve as the body for a drawing of a horse or the neck on a giraffe. Feel free to decorate the cards as you wish (the more creative the better) however we ask that cards be made on cardstock no larger than 4" x 5.5" when folded in half. Throughout the year, we also need various holiday related cards. Our packages must be shipped at least two weeks prior to the holiday, so please have your holiday cards to us by the following dates: Easter - March 20, 2007 4th of July - June 12, 2007 Halloween - October 12, 2007 Thanksgiving - November 3, 2007 Christmas - December 1, 2007 *Please mail completed cards to Hero Hugs, Attention: Bailey Reese, P.O.
