Support Heroes at Home this Holiday Season

I don’t prescribe 100% to the theory that “Jesus is the reason for the season”, but I do think we get overwhelmed with shopping and cooking and party planning during the holidays and forget there is a reason for the season and there are still people out there fighting for our freedom and sacrificing time with their families.

The Sears Heroes at Home Wish Registry is a joint effort by various organizations to provide for military personnel, veterans, and their families during the holidays. Not only is the economy struggling and families are desperate to make ends meet, many families are separated during a time of year that’s meant for togetherness. There are dozens of family stories on the Sears website, ranging from families that want a comfortable living room to spend time together to deployed soldiers with small children at home that want to take their children’s minds off their absence.

Our donations can help provide necessary items and small indulgences by making a donation to Heroes at Home. If you find a particularly touching story, one that hits close to home for you, you can fulfill specific wish list items for that family, from necessities like pots and pans and crib mattresses to holiday classics like wagons and baby dolls.
