Submitted by the Office of Congressman Brad Schneider

U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10) recently launched the third annual "Holiday Cards for Heroes" program for the 2019 holiday season.

Tenth District constituents are invited to drop off holiday cards for military service members at Congressman Schneider's District Office in Lincolnshire through Friday, Dec. 13. Holiday cards placed in envelopes should not be sealed closed.

In 2018, Schneider's office collected nearly 400 cards, which were distributed with help from the United Service Organizations.

"The holidays are a special time for families and friends to gather together, but many of our brave men and women in our armed forces spend this season far from family and home," Schneider said.

"A personal, handwritten card is a much-appreciated way to say thank you to the Americans serving our country, offer words of encouragement and share holiday cheer.

"Now in its third year, this program continues to grow, and I'm glad our office can help connect constituents and our service members."

Congressman Schneider's district office is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 111 Barclay Blvd., Suite 200, Lincolnshire.

Constituents can also deliver cards during any upcoming Neighborhood Office Hour event. Check the schedule at schneider.house.gov/NOH. For details, call (847) 383-4870.
