GROUP OPPORTUNITY : Make Cards for Isolated Seniors

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Age Well Senior Services

• A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
• 11 people are interested

Let seniors know you are thinking of them by making thoughtful cards, which helps lessen feelings of isolation. Cards and notes like these bring true joy to recipients’ days and remind them that they are not alone. Age Well will distribute cards through our Meals on Wheels and Congregate Lunch programs.

This is a perfect opportunity for groups, students, scouts and other organizations.

Suggested supplies:

• Cards, cardstock, construction paper, or blank printer paper. If you have blank cards, that will work perfectly, but you don’t need those to do this project.
• Decorative materials such as:
  • Markers
  • Stickers
  • Colored pencils or crayons
  • Decorative washi tape
  • Colored paper (scrapbook or construction)
  • Glue stick or other adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Envelope(s) to put your card into.

If you are making more than one (1) card, we recommend using a large envelope to send them at once.

Sample message ideas:

"I want you to know that you are a very special person and that you are loved!"

"May your day be filled with all kinds of bright sunny things! We are thinking of you now and always."

"I hope you have a wonderful day, and know that someone is wishing you nothing but the best!"

Please refrain from using religious messages, holiday-focused messages, and glitter to make these cards welcoming to all!
