what is holiday 4 heroes

Why is there a needEvery 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. 
Year-round we now send 40 - 50 comfort boxes each month to our brave men and women who are serving all over the world. 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! |
A Message from one of our Brave Military WomenOur Newest ProgramBackPacks For Our VeteransHoliday 4 Heroes newest program, Backpacks for Veterans, has partnered with the SWFL Military Museum. Backpacks filled with personal care items, high protein snacks, sweets, a thank you card and information on how and where a Veteran can go to seek help will be given out by the museum to any homeless Vet or Vet needing a little extra help. If you or your company are interested, we could use a donation of backpacks for our next round! Thank you to all our sponsors, donors and volunteers for helping bring this project to life!

Our Holiday Program
As the mission evolves, Holiday 4 Heroes, supports our military families at home by giving them a Christmas filled with joy and less worries. This year, we provided a Merrier Christmas for a local Cape Coral family, who were going through some difficult times. A family, who has sacrificed so much for us, were given everything they needed for the holiday. Our hope, with your help, is to continue to do this each year when there is a need. If you know of any service member that can use our services please contact us.
Toys 4 Tyndall Update

We asked for help with donations for Tyndall and the surrounding community. Taking donations of new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages, bikes, trikes, sporting equipment, gift cards and anything that would put a smile on all their faces. We loaded two trailers and pick up trucks and drove to the Panhandle to deliver your donations. The response was overwhelming! We collected over 4000 toys and stocking stuffer's and over $2000 of gift cards and monetary donations. Thank you for always being there for Holiday 4 Heroes and thank you for the support for this project to make the holidays a little bit brighter for our friends in the Florida Panhandle. |

Thank You message from the panhandle
" We so appreciate everything that Holidays for Heroes did for our area. It was such a blessing and we could not have done it without all of the help we had this year. We are so appreciative! We would see joy and relief on the faces of many of the parents who came to “shop” for their children, and we certainly had a festive air of gratitude every day. Our volunteer shoppers had just as much fun as they helped the parents pick out gifts. It was an experience that many of our volunteers will never forget.
We were also able to have a gift wrap station that was staffed with volunteers, and had Christmas music playing while parents waited in line to have their presents wrapped. It was certainly a festive environment! "
