The Wyandotte County Chapter of the American Red Cross will hold its "Holiday Mail for Heroes" program again this year.

The chapter expects to deliver well over 2,000 pieces of mails to area service men and women during the holiday.

“It’s an honor for our community to help make the holidays special for American heroes,” said Jason Williby, Executive Director, Wyandotte County Chapter.  “The American Red Cross serves and supports members of the military, veterans, and their families by providing emergency communications, comfort and assistance each day. The Holiday Mail for Heroes program continues the Red Cross tradition of service to the armed forces.” 

The Red Cross is seeking volunteers to help out on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. to help sort out box cards. The location of the event is 1600 Washington Blvd.
