Please continue sending in your beautifully handcrafted hats, scarves, etc., as we are going back to Anchorage, Alaska very soon! And just to reiterate, (besides USPS) you can also send your donations to our PO Box through UPS and FedEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes, you absolutely\u00a0<em>can<\/em>\u00a0send donations via UPS and FedEx to our P.O. Box.<\/strong> Thanks to a helpful USPS service called\u00a0<strong>Street Addressing<\/strong>, we\u2019re able to receive\u00a0<em>both<\/em>\u00a0postal mail\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>packages from private carriers like UPS and FedEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Does It Work, you ask? It\u2019s easy, here\u2019s how:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of writing just \u201cP.O. Box 1583,\u201d you\u2019ll format the address like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>T.H.R.I.V.E. Association C\/O Victoria Walker<\/strong><br><strong>900 E Fayette Street #1583<\/strong><br><strong>Baltimore, MD 21233<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is using the&nbsp;<strong>physical street address<\/strong>&nbsp;of the post office, followed by our&nbsp;<strong>box number preceded by a \u201c#\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;(not \u201cP.O. Box\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tells the driver to deliver it to the post office building, and USPS will place the package safely in our box or hold it for us to pick up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why This Is Awesome for our Amazing Donors<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More shipping options<\/strong>: Use your favorite carrier or choose the most affordable one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fewer returned packages<\/strong>: No more \u201cundeliverable\u201d errors from online forms that reject P.O. Boxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoother donations<\/strong>: Especially helpful if you\u2019re mailing bulk items or larger donations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, we are beyond grateful for your kindness, generosity, and support. Every package, every donation, every gesture \u2014 it all makes a huge difference in helping us accomplish our mission to end veteran homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E Association family.
