Hollis, NH, Woman Collecting Valentine’s Day Cards for Troops Overseas
Dr. Laura Landerman-Garber is an incredible lady who started a non-profit organization 18 years ago. She sat down to have Thanksgiving dinner with her family, but before anyone was allowed to eat, they were told to write out a holiday card to a military hero who wasn't able to spend the holiday with their family. She called it her family's "ticket to turkey”. In that moment, Holiday Cards for Our Military Challenge was born.
This challenge has expanded WAY beyond New Hampshire, and over the years hundreds of thousands of holiday cards have been sent to our brave warriors.
Laura has spread the good word on Live with Kelly and Ryan, CBS This Morning, and many more national platforms!
For the past two years, WOKQ has had the opportunity to partner with Laura and supplement her card collecting efforts.
We are honored to play a small role in the difference Laura makes with Holiday Cards for Our Military Challenge .
This year, Laura simply can't wait until next Christmas. She wants to spread more joy and she wants to spread it NOW!
