Cards for Soldiers Program invites everyone to participate in the
“Cards for Soldiers Program” Project. The project is two-fold; we make handcrafted and signed greeting cards to be sent to our troops that our deployed
Overseas. The hand-signed cards are usually Thank you; we miss you, Holiday cards, ect to let the soldiers know that we
appreciate their service and miss them. The rest of the car
ds are left blank, so that the soldiers can send greetings cards
home to their loved ones. The subject of those greetings is left up to the designer of the card. Our troops need cards to
send home to their families as the facilities to obtain the greetings cards are very limited. The troops do not always have
access to email or phone services and enjoy sending cards for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays, etc. home to their
loved ones. We have partnered with individuals that prepare care packages for Soldiers Angels and Desert Angels to get
the cards in the care packages and to the soldiers. We also need supplies to make the cards, so if you have any
scrapbooking or cardmaking supplies that you would like to donate to the program, feel free to send them to 5415 S Stephan Bridge Rd
Grayling, MI 49738 or you can contact Charly Mathews at 586-995-1963 if you are local for a drop off. Monetary donations are also
accepted to help offset the cost of mailing the cards to the soldiers and gift cards to JoAnns, Meijers, Michaels, Hobby
Lobby, Archivers, any craft store, are also welcome to help with the project. You can send your card donations to:
