Help us bring some cheer to isolated seniors, seniors in nursing homes and/or disabled individuals in our communities by sending them heartfelt letters, letting them know that we care, and they haven't been forgotten.
We are looking for uplifting letters that will bring their recipients some joy!
Letters are being sent each month with a different theme. You can incorporate the theme through art, by making your own themed cards and within the message of your letter.
September: Favorite Book theme
October: Fall or Halloween theme
November: Things that we are grateful for
If you are interested in sending letters and/or art to seniors in the community, please express interest and I will follow up with more details via email to you. I will contact you with specific instructions for the letters and the address to which to send them.
Children are welcome to contribute also (an adult is required for minors to sign up). We also welcome groups to participate in this project.
Volunteers will be need to have their own materials for the letters and any additional artwork they'd like to add, as well as stamps to mail the letters on hand (or you must be able to take them to the post office). I will try my best to provide you with one address for your letters so you can mail them together in a large envelope.
Please allow 48-72 hours for me to get back to you with the instructions.
If you are in need of community service hours, I am happy to confirm your hours for you. Please submit pictures of your letters as proof. We will be tracking and logging the actual time you spent working on the letters/cards and do NOT assign a specific number of letters per hour. Please check with your institution if they have specific requirements for how many letters you need to complete to get your hours approved.
Thank you so much for considering this opportunity!
