Sears Helps Heroes Fulfill Wishes This Holiday
Sears Heroes at Home Wish Registry offers America the chance to say ‘thank you’ and helps military families have the holidays they deserve
With more than 480,000 U.S. soldiers currently on active duty, Sears is once again calling on America to step up and say “thanks” to the nation’s troops this holiday season. As part of its long-standing commitment to real life heroes, Sears is bringing back its annual Heroes at Home Wish Registry to give back to the men and women who serve our country by inviting Americans to make a contribution to the Wish Registry either in-store or online at http://www.sears.com/heroesathome (donations accepted until December 31).
With thousands of active-duty military fathers and mothers away from their homes fighting for our country, the Heroes at Home Wish Registry helps to bring the holidays home for many deserving families. By bridging the miles with a little holiday cheer, the Wish Registry provides a chance for active military members to connect with loved ones during the holiday season.
Now in its third year, the program has helped more than 51,000 military families and has raised more than $12.2 million. For many, the wishes fulfilled in years past have been simple and practical, including everything from warm clothes to new toys for their children to a Christmas tree and other holiday decorations for their homes.
Many families that were helped by last year’s efforts shared their stories to encourage active members of the military to register this year, some of which are posted on the Wish Registry website.
Please note that donations made to the Wish Registry are not tax deductible and will be used to purchase Sears gift cards that will be equally distributed to all registered families.
