Every year since 1970, our volunteers have made and distributed handmade cards! These cards can help lift spirits as many seniors are isolated and alone. Four times a year we pack a card into the meals that are delivered by our drivers. We also provide a card and special treat for each of our clients' birthdays! You can have fun tapping into your artistic side, plus you’ll feel good knowing that you’re making a difference in the lives of so many seniors in our community!  \nPlease read and follow all the guidelines below to ensure your cards can be used.
