Caring Hearts Card Drive

Welcome to the Caring Hearts Card Drive!

For the past 4 years, Vera Yates has been organizing this super sweet and thoughtful card drive. Today we are hopping to share the details and encourage you to join in! Please visit HERE for more details.

The holidays are about family, about kindness, and joy. During this time many of the elderly who lives in nursing homes really feel the loneliness or are missing their family. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could bring a smile to their faces & brighten their holiday season simply by sharing our love of card making? A simple gesture to let them know that they are not forgotten.

We all love making cards and what’s better than knowing our creations can bring a smile to others, right? Some helpful people already agreed to help us deliver the cards to selected nursing homes.

• This card drive will be going on till November 28, 2013. We need to receive your card by November 28, 2013.
•  Please make the cards for Christmas or Holiday Wishes. Anyone can send a card, your children, church group, scout troops, etc.
• All cards need to have a message in it (it can be stamped or hand written).  
• Please sign your name and where you are from. 
• Please include an envelope for each card and please don't seal the envelope.
• Please stick to just cards (all sizes welcome)
• And please don't use any pins (safety reason).
• You can mail the cards to:
