An Easy Way to Support Our Troops
Christmas might be over, but as we coast into 2009 there is no reason to stop with the charitable feelings that permeate the holiday season. As you sit down to reflect back on 2008 you are more than likely going to made at least one New Year’s Resolution.
Might I suggest that one of your resolutions be to find a way to support the military families that sacrifice so much all year round?
I have an idea for a very easy way that you can accomplish such a resolution. Check out what Sears is doing with their Sears Heroes at Home Wish Registry. It’s a heartening program, to say the least. People like you and I can simply donate money to the program. Qualified military families can register and then Sears distributes the funds equally in the form of Sears gift cards.
The Heroes at Home Wish Registry program is not a non-profit organization, so you cannot write off your contributions as a tax reduction. However, this is a program that is DIRECTLY accessible for the over 30,000 military families registered. There is no overhead or salaries to pay. Whatever is donated is then passed right on to the military families. That is something you can feel great about.
While you are checking out the Heroes at Home section of the Sears website, don’t forget to leave a message of support for our military men and women.
