A MESSAGE FROM A HOLIDAY 4 HEROES RECIPIENT |
why is there a need
Every day the brave men and women in our military service are risking their lives for us. Our government does not provide some of their basic needs. As nearby bases and commissaries have shut down these items become difficult to acquire. 
For our holiday effort, starting in September, we search out local soldiers to adopt. We try to supply their entire camp. Their packages are mailed out the last week of November and are received by our soldiers for a little Christmas appreciation and cheer. Our community has really come together on this project. People donate tons of supplies, make their own care packages and donate money for the mailings. Please join us in the effort to support these very brave men and women who protect us. Remember, freedom is not free!

We need your help!
Announcing Holiday 4 Heroes "Toys 4 Tyndall" Program!
As most of you are aware, Tyndall AFB in the panhandle was decimated by Hurricane Michael. Base housing was destroyed and a lot of families are scrambling just to have a roof over their heads. They are picking up the pieces of their lives while their loved ones continue to serve our country. Right now, they are worried about sleeping arrangements and most haven't even thought about how they will provide for the upcoming holidays. That's where we come in. We are asking for your help with donations for Tyndall and the surrounding community. We will be taking donations of new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages, bikes, trikes, sporting equipment and anything that would put a smile on all their faces. New in the box Christmas trees, ornaments, lights, decorations, wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, scissors and all sizes of batteries. Pet food and toys are welcome as are gift cards to Walmart, Target, Publix and Winn Dixie. We will load a truck on December 7th and deliver it to the base on the 8th. Peter will be contacting local businesses to get drop off locations. We are looking for a truck donation if anyone knows of someone willing to loan a truck for that weekend. We have a coordinator at the base who is working with their church to get the gifts to those in need. Please help us help those who never ask for help. Let’s make sure these children know their parents sacrifices do not go unnoticed. Please feel free to share this and contact us at 239- 772-1076, 239-560-8599 or 239-560- 8509. Thank you for all always being there for Holiday 4 Heroes and let's once again support this project to make their holidays a little bit brighter. Some New Additions
As the mission evolves, Holiday 4 Heroes, is supporting our military families at home by giving them a Christmas filled with joy and less worries. Starting in 2016, 2 families in our area, who were going through some difficult times, were given everything they needed for the holiday. Our hope, with your help, is to increase that number each year. If you know of any service member that can use our services please contact us...
The second addition is to send 30 - 50 comfort boxes each month to our brave men and women who are serving all over the world. |
