Learn more about Cards for Seniors.
We need your help to provide handmade or handwritten well wishes on greeting cards for isolated older adults. Please sort by season/holiday when shipping. Project suggestions:- Write in large block print letters using lots of color.
- Inside the card: Share some simple information about themselves (e.g., their favorite hobbies, pets, school, etc.). You can also write a simple poem and greeting inside the card. This makes thehandmadecard a very personal and thoughtful gift for the older person to receive.
- Sign the back of the card with your first name AND the name of the group, as well as the age of the child or children if applicable.
- Materials you might use include stickers, watercolors, puff paint, foam craft, feathers, ribbons, colored tissue paper, buttons, and of course, colored markers. DO NOT use glitter or sequins; they fall off.
- Helpful Hint: focus on joy!
This opportunity is available throughout the year!
