Description:
Social isolation is still a major concern with seniors in our community. Help brighten a senior’s day by creating a card for them. A personalized card lets them know someone is thinking of them. Cards can be hand-made or store bought. Include a friendly message. Cards can be created year-round to say hello and thinking of you!
Our Caring Cards Program is for year-round cardmaking.
The instructions below will also be in your confirmation email.
Instructions
- CREATE CARD(S). Create one or more cards at home
- Either handmade and decorated (Google handmade card ideas), printed out from online to color in (Google printable cards), or use store-bought cards.
- SALUTATION/GREETING. Since you will not be writing to a specific person, you can start the card generically, i.e., “Dear Friend.”
- MESSAGE. Please feel free to include a caring, supportive message.
- CLOSING. You can end the card with any complimentary close (Best regards, Regards, Best Wishes, etc.) and “SJJCC Volunteer” and feel free to add your first name if you would like to. For example, "Regards, SJJCC Volunteer, Linda."
