12 Ways to Give: Operation Write Home

Christmas presents

Operation Write Home is a group that supports the armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

You can get involved by:

  • Making cards
  • Writing letters
  • Hosting parties
  • Donating through the OWH website

From the site:

With Iraq deployments coming to a close, we need fewer cards, and higher quality – so we recommend having a party with experienced crafters only. If you want to have a community-wide event with non-cardmakers, please have people make AnyHero cards that they’ll sign with a note inside.
