Project Love Cards

Project Love Cards

CHRISTMAS SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US, which means many families will start to worry about their Christmas cards. How many people are they going to send them to? The closest 30 of their friends and family? Last year Robin McCauley sent 6,306 cards out, and she is looking to do more this year. And the best part? The people she is sending them to are total strangers, all whom are near and dear to her heart. The cards that Robin sends out are for Project Love Cards, care packages for troops serving overseas. Thousands of soldiers serving far from home are unable to spend the holidays with the families. Since they are unable to enjoy Christmas morning opening presents, these care packages contain little treats from the area, so the troops can enjoy a taste of home. “I wanted soldiers to know people in the States were thinking about them during the holidays,” said Robin. “My brother in-law was serving overseas, and I wanted to do something for him. I was talking to my mom and sister, asking what to do for him, and it all just came together.”
