Are you or someone you know looking to share a little holiday joy this season with a lonely or isolated older adult? If so, we’ve put together the perfect card-creating opportunity!
It’s easy! Just fill out our online form by clicking on the "I Want To Help!" button located above then click "continue" to be directed to the form.
After you have signed up, you will receive an email with more details, including where to send your nondenominational, holiday cards. All cards must be received by December 9th.
By signing up for our Cards Connect program, you're not obligated to send cards four times a year. Friends & Co will simply send you an email each quarter to let you know when we are planning to send out cards, and you can choose whether to participate!
We look forward to distributing your wonderful card creations to older adults experiencing isolation and loneliness across Minnesota!
