How It Works
You’ll need card-writing supplies. No envelopes please. We’ve done this before. We can get you what you need to get started.
You let us know how many cards you want to write. We’ll connect you with a senior home.
BONUS: For every new class you inspire to write My Dear Friend cards. We will send you and your stuednts a Recognition of Service Award!
In my school district role supporting handwriting, this was a meaningful opportunity for students to practice and give back.

I personally enjoyed volunteering with seniors and wanted to have the students I work with learn the importance of intergenerational relationships.
