Mission Soldier Support

Through my etsy shop I'm participating in Mission Soldier Support (MSS) for its holiday drive. MSS was started earlier this year with its first drive working to collect any occasion cards to send to soldiers overseas so that they could send them to their family members back here in the States. That first drive, also started by Rachel Wright, was so successful that she's coordinating a second effort focusing on holiday cards for the troops.

I came across the Etsy Greetings Team shortly after I opened my shop in February and have just started to get more involved in the promos that they coordinate. It's through the Etsy Greetings Team that I heard about MSS and got involved.

I thought it was a great idea the first time she mentioned it, but I was busily gestating and just new to the group so I didn't participate. This time I'm jumping in!

The promotion started yesterday and runs through November 7th. It ends then so that we have time to send all the cards to Rachel, she has time to send them to the troops, and then they have time to send them to their friends and family!

Here's how it works: If you'd like to donate a card or cards to MSS go to etsy and search on MSS as a tag. Eligible cards are tagged with MSS. Purchase the card and type "MSS" or "Mission Soldier Support" in the "Notes to Seller" section at checkout and the shop owner will ship it to Rachel with all the other donated cards at the end of the promo.

Or, just go to my shop and buy any Christmas card and type "MSS" in the "Notes to Seller" box.

It's an easy way to send support overseas to our troops!

I've sold my first set of cards already yesterday so I've got my donation box waiting to be filled with cards! (Thanks Chels!) I need to keep making more cards too!
