I live in the St. Louis Metro Area, and just recently my Honors Club at my high school made cards for the troops only to find out that they can be shipped to the troops in part of a large bundle. So now we are looking for a Christmas Card collection program going on that we can send the cards to so they can send them overseas. So does anybody know of any? Please help!

I would try contacting the Blue Star Mothers, the USO, or the Operation Homefront and see if they can help.

If you have a National Guard Armory relatively close to you, you can get with their Family Program Coordinator. They have miraculous ways of helping out the community and have a lot of experience with these sort of things, if you call and talk to them, they can possibly even pick the cards up for you and get them sent out to soldier's in your state as well as others assisting some of the men and women out of your state. (if they are National Guard)
If your state doesn't have anyone serving in Iraq or Afghanistan they can make sure that they get over to unit's over there regardless.

Try your local VFW/Amercan Legion/ or others along that line. When my DH was Deployed, he got several cards from these Organizations.

You can go to www.anysoldier.com and request for a bunch of soldier's address and send them out.
