Help us bring some cheer to isolated seniors, seniors in nursing homes and/or disabled individuals in our communities during this time of social isolation. They may have to stay in isolation much longer than the rest of us, so sending them some letters, letting them know that we care and haven't forgotten about them, is important. We are looking for uplifting letters that will bring their recipients some joy!
This months we are looking for letters or cards around the theme of Summer. You can incorporate the theme through art, by making your own themed cards and within the message of your letter.
If you are interested in sending letters and/or art to seniors in the community, please sign up below and include in your response (in the notes) how many letters you would like to write. I will contact you with specific instructions for the letters and the address to send them to. Children are welcome to contribute also (an adult is required for minors to sign up).
We are looking to have this round of letters completed and mailed to their recipients by 6/30/2021.
Volunteers will be required to have their own materials for the letters and any additional art work you'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 hours for me to get back to you with the instructions. Please note that I will be out of the office from June 2nd to June 9th and therefore will not be responding to responses or requests during that time. I will get back to you as soon as possible after June 9th.
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 of how may letters you need to complete to get your hours approved.
Thank you so much for considering this opportunity!
