The holidays may be over, but the spirit of giving can carry on throughout the year with Sears Heroes at Home. The Heros at Home wish registry helps to make sure that the families of our soldiers and veterans have what they need this holiday season, and all year-long.

There are 30,583 military families that are extremely thankful for the Sears gift cards they receive that can help buy clothes, appliances, shoes, and toys. If the video above doesn’t show how valuable our small donations can be, visit the Heros at Home wish registry and read the stories of some of the military families and view some of the necessities and simple luxuries we take for granted on their wish lists.

Sears was kind enough to give me and one of my readers each a $100 gift certificate this holiday season. I donated a portion of my gift card to the Heros at Home wish registry, and I hope the winning reader does the same, because the more we donate, the more each family receives.

Please visit the Heros at Home wish registry and make a donation or leave some words of encouragement for our military families.

Donations are not tax-deductible and will be given to the familes in the form of a Sears gift card.
