Area nonprofits are collaborating next month on an effort to break the world record for most letters written to military personnel in one month.
The "Letters From Home" campaign — organized by the Costa Mesa-based Festival of Children Foundation, Encino-based Operation Gratitude and Irvine-based Team Kids — begins at noon April 12 in South Coast Plaza's Carousel Court.
The goal is to collect 10,000 letters between April 12 and May 12 and be eligible for a Guinness World Record, organizers said.
