Give to Military Families This Christmas

I have been hearing a LOT of cool things about Sears lately. There is a lengthy discussion going on right now on one of my mailing lists about how Sears goes the extra mile for their employees who get called up as reservists for active duty. Not only do they hold their jobs for them, they supplement income and maintain benefits. I cannot think of many businesses that put their money where their mouths are and really PROVE they care about their military employees.

And now I am reading about another program Sears has called the Heroes at Home Wish Registry. You can donate money to the program and Sears will take all of the money collected and distribute it equally between all of the registered families in the form of Sears gift cards. The program benefits those in the military and their families. It’s a wonderful, selfless program and it puts the focus back on the HEROES who are out there right now fighting to ensure that our nation stays free. I thin it is unfortunate that the recent election overshadowed news of our soldiers and I’m thrilled to see a program like this put the focus back where it belongs.

I’d like to encourage all of my readers to go now and donate to the Sears Heroes at Home Wish Registry. When you look at the family wish lists, you’ll see that most of the families just need help buying warm coats and other clothing for their kids. It’s an honor to be able to help them fulfill that.
