Managing the cards so we have a good selection to send to each hero can be a monumental task. With the help of cardmakers across the country, though, it's not often a problem!
In each box of 325-350 cards, holiday cards as well as anytime themes are included, for heroes to send to both adults and children. For a list of the holidays, see our deadlines page.
Shipper needs
LAST UPDATED: 1/10/12: We post this list below so that those who wish to target a specific card need can do so; however, we are always happy to take any of your anytime-themed cards anytime! If you want the "freshest" info about what is needed, check out our Facebook page regularly; our shippers talk regularly about what their immediate needs are.
Sandy: "I'm especially in need of thank you, love ,and missing you cards and send those bunnies in too! General thinking of you are always welcome."
Caro: "Miss you and thank you cards, please! Only a few birthday cards, I have tons."
Kris: "Need general thinking of you and miss you and thank you cards. Thanks!"
A note about needs for AnyHero mail
At Christmastime, we get a LOT of season-specific mail, and that's fine - but please, for other times of year, make hero mail GENERIC; meaning no "Happy Valentines Day, Hero" or "Happy Easter, Hero" type of mail. Our shippers have tons of sorting to do with the cards, and keeping track of which mail has to take precedence over other letters that came in earlier is a monumental task. Mail that can be sent anytime is absolutely best. Thanks!
