Spreading Love This Valentine’s Day
January 12, 2018
Holidays like Valentine’s Day are fun to celebrate when you have loved ones or friends to share the day with. Unfortunately, our military heroes often find themselves alone or feeling homesick during holidays.
Here at Soldiers’ Angels our mission is to make sure no one who serves this country feels unloved – and that’s especially true on Valentine’s Day! That’s why, each year, we run a program called Valentines for Veterans.
How it works
Purchase or make Valentines cards for our military and veteran heroes.
Mail your cards and $1 per card to:
Soldiers’ Angels
2700 NE Loop 410, Suite 310
San Antonio, Texas 78217
Why the $1 per card? The $1 helps us cover the cost to distribute the thousands of cards we receive.
