Not Too Late to Honor Our Heroes

It is not too late to give to the Heroes at Home Wish Registry. It is a project taken on by Sears to help the families who have a loved one over seas, particularly families where a parent is stationed far away this holiday season. It sometimes creates financial difficulties, but more so, sometimes creates a little bit of sadness for not having a mom or dad home to celebrate with them.

The money donated is not tax deductible, as it goes directly to the purchase of gift cards rather than going to a non profit organization. Gift card amounts are divided up evenly among all the registered families. Of course, there are other programs that donate items to families. However, this way, the parent that is caring for the children back in their home towncan buy exactly what they need. They can purchase the size and style and the item that they need the very most. Some of the top Wish List items that families hope to buy are shoes in a range of children’s sizes, and pajamas for both boys and girls. They just grow so fast and need those items every year. Sometimes good, solid shoes are a larger ticket item too.

How do you help? Go to the Sears Heroes at Home on the internet, or go to the register at your favorites Sears store, fill out a slip, and make your contribution.
