" .... Stamps for the Wounded is a little-publicized volunteer group that collects millions of stamps and related materials for wounded veterans.
The organization, now completing its 58th year, accepts donations of stamps, covers, albums, catalogs, stock books, trade journals, magnifiers, tongs and gauges.
"We need material throughout the year, but it is especially welcomed as fall is followed by holiday time," said John Hotchner, vice president for Stamps for the Wounded.
"Stamps help veterans occupy their time productively," he said, "and help to develop goals that keep up interest in the hobby and in life itself."
Stamps for the Wounded was founded in 1942 by Ernie Kehr, collector and author, at the request of a friend from a Staten Island, N.Y., veterans hospital for some activity for the veterans. Kehr responded, even taking stamps from his collections as a start, and enlisted the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a collector since childhood.
Donations should be sent to Stamps for the Wounded, Box 1125, Falls Church, Va., 22041. Contributions are tax-deductible, and receipts will be granted on request. ...."

Back in the 80's and 90's (Stone Age, I know...) I had a stamp club for elementary-age school children. I have a box of materials from the Postal Service that might still be fun for kids even tho they're old. Does anyone have a stamp club that could use such things?

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
