Salvation Army Red Cards
What do you give someone who has everything? A gift in their honor for people who have nothing!
Honor your family and friends by making a donation to The Salvation Army this season! In turn, The Salvation Army will send a personalized Christmas card to them letting them know that a gift has been given by you in their name.
The suggested gift is $10 per card.
The best news is, we can send these “Red Cards” or Christmas Cards to your entire mailing list! It’s a meaningful gift that will definitely be used right here in Smith County!
If you’re interested in the Red Cards this season, please contact Cindy Bell at 903-592-4361, or by email at Cindy.Bell@uss.salvationarmy.org.
Thank you and have a safe and joyous Christmas!
