You can purchase them from retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Target or craft stores. 

We prefer that your bracelets are white so that the writing and decorations can be easily seen, and they should measure approximately 1 ½” wide and 8” – 8 ½” long. 

We suggest indelible markers such as Sharpies in all colors. You can also apply fun stickers and other flat embellishments, but they MUST be firmly attached. Please do not use items that protrude from the bracelets such as rhinestones, pearls, bows, etc.

Remember that these bracelets will be sent to both men and women, so please keep them gender neutral so they can be worn by anyone.

Since space is limited for writing, we suggest things like “Thank You For Your Service”, or “You are my Hero”, or “You make Us Proud”, “Come Home Safe” etc. 

  
Please avoid all political and religious comments and icons ie: No crosses, scripture, political names or associations etc. 

You are welcome to send as many as you’d like to make! We’d like to include them in every Care Packages!

Sorry, but we do not offer community service hours for this program.
