Every year a friend of mine arranges to have volunteers come greet injured Marines who are recovering at the Marine Corps Depot in San Diego, CA.

Part of the volunteers’ activity is to deliver Christmas cards to each Marine. Where ever you live you can help by sending cards to be distributed Christmas morning.

Here are the instructions for helping:

• Notes, letter, pictures and cards accepted. 
  
• Salutation should be “Dear Recruit” 
  
• Send all the letters/drawings in one package to the address below. 
  
• NO personal return addresses. Use your church’s address so the Recruit will have some idea where the card came from.
  
• Mark the back of each note with a classroom sticker or stamp with the school address, if they desire possible responses from recruits.
  
• We ask that you not use glitter.
  

Please mail your letters by December 4, 2017 to the following address:
