Guidelines for Gathering Stamps

1. Cut the stamps from envelopes with a 1/4" margin around the stamp. Be careful not to cut the stamp. The perforations must be perfect.

2. Do NOT pull or take the stamps from the envelope.

3. Commemorative U.S. stamps, denominations larger than first class postage, and foreign stamps are especially valuable.

4. Do NOT remove stamps from albums, older postcards and/or envelopes, or first-day covers. Send in the entire album, envelope or postcard. This does not include postal cards sold by the post office. An "old" card is usually from 1930 or before.

North Wisconsin Stamp Program
Since the Stamps for Mission program began in 1994, it has provided $9,998.345 to help spread the Gospel. Thank you to all who help provide the stamps for this program.
PLEASE NOTE:  As of July 20, 2011, Christmas stamps will no longer be accepted as there is no market for them.
You are encouraged to use commemorative stamps since as their value is 10-15 times more than common stamps. All commemorative stamps are now “forever” stamps.

Stamps may be given to an LWML zone president or sent directly to:
