AMERICA'S 250TH CHRISTMAS

This Christmas falls in the 250th year of the United States of America.

We are serving every branch — Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force — and we are honored to do it. We could not do any of it without the veteran organizations and groups who
stand with us, and certainly not without the individuals who give, pack, carry, and pray. You are the reason this goal can be reached.

From all of us at the Hope Exchange and Safe Harbor Ministries &
Outreach: Merry Christmas, and a happy, blessed New Year. Thank you
for coming on board.

THIS CHRISTMAS — TWO PROMISES

First, the veterans in our own backyards. Right now, about 15,000 veterans are living in state veterans homes across America, and about 1,500 of the people in those homes are the wives and husbands of veterans, and Gold Star parents. Many of them will spend Christmas in a care facility or a nursing home.

Our Bless an Older Veteran campaign makes sure every veteran in a home we serve receives a Christmas cookie box — $25 blesses one veteran, and every veteran in the home gets one. No one in the home is left out. Boxes are delivered by December 20.

Second, our troops overseas. Over 90,000 of our service members are
serving far from home this Christmas — in the Middle East, across Europe, throughout the Pacific, and aboard ships on seas around the world. Our Boxes for the Troops campaign sends each one of them a Christmas bag: $30 sends one bag, and our goal is that not one troop
is left out.
