Greetings to the HC4OMC Community!! Hope summer was a good one for all. It was busy for the Team here as we sent out…drum roll… 105,000 cards for Christmas Hanukah Kwanzaa In July! Just imagine the smiles of surprise to open open cards in July. I hear its fun and gets the Troops, Veterans, and Families excited for the upcoming holidays. IT is fun to send out those boxes with big stickers that have Santa in a Hawaiian shirt , sunglasses and a sunshine overhead!
And now we are all in the thick of the 2026 Challenge. Daily emails come in with questions and ideas. Folks have already started card signing but no worries ‘cause we are all getting warmed up!
Big year as we will TOGETHER reach a new milestone of sending out the 2,000,000th card! We have chosen a recipient and his Unit and cant wait to have them all open up that special box. That box will be a mix of all of our cards and cards from public figures too. SHHHH cant say who yet but some have already come in from national political leaders, media folks..sports icon…
Please join us for the first time or as an “ole friend”. Our mission is to support our TRoops Veterans and military families! We all want to let them know that we are thinking of them! Your cards and letters are a taste of home, reducing it the distance from where they are and home!
GO to HOW TO SEND on our website for some details.
Here’s the basic guideline…
Dear Warrior, A winter holiday greeting —Hanukah, CHristmas, Kwanzaa, winter…- A personal message (THIS IS THEIR FAVORITE PART!) something Iike your fav holiday tradition, memory, fav book, movie, pizza topping, hobby., sports team, Drawings, stickers Jokes riddles. Serious. Funny If you have a military history yourself or in your family…Please nothing political, triggering for someone who might be in a combat zone. No personal phone, email, twitter, or home addresses. Sign your first name ONLY City and State where you live. You can include your school. Team, company name
Since we believe that every card counts, you can write one and that is great or a gazillion ( my granddaughters fav number)
NO ENVELOPES PLEASE
We have drop boxes all over NH and if you want to inquire if there is one near you, please email us at holidaycardsnh@gmail Cards do arrive from all 50 States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. ]
You can mail your cards to HOLIDAY CARD CHALLENGE. #103 5 Hutchings Drive Hollis NH 03049
We hope to have your cards by Nov 18 as you can imagine how much time it takes to proofread all the cards, bundle them up and mail them out in time for the holidays. We do not turn cards away so keep them coming even if we have to lovingly tuck them away for next year. We recognize that many groups like to sign cards closer to the holiday season so no worries!
We are a 501c3 nonprofit and rely 100% on donations to make our mission a mission accomplished. Jsut like every card counts, every penny (do we still have pennies?) counts too! Our most cherished donation once came form a 6 year old whose donated his $1 allowance. His parents popped it in an envelope and wrote a note how he wanted to help his heroes! We humbly and graciously accept donations any amounts directly to the nonprofit at the address above or through GIVEBUTTER.COM We thank you
