so sorry I am a few days late this month, totally my fault.
what an amazing organization this month and at the perfect time of year. So many families and couples go through harder times around the holiday season, it can add more stress and then in turn more issues in the home. I cannot wait to see how we support CVIC this month..THANK YOU!
our monthly optional challenge is to use purple, it is the color of awareness for domestic violence. remember you to not have to play in the challenge to send cards, you can send from your stash as always. use the keyword C4AC to add any cards made to the gallery not just the challenge.
and as always let me know if you have any questions

So, I know this may sound like an odd question; but is there a limit as to how many cards we can send. I have a stack of about 25 cards just taking up space in my "finished cards" bin. I would love to just send the whole lot, so I can start making room for other creations to donate to more causes down the road...

I'm in...I can't believe I forgot to check this link sooner. Any so this is Christmas, a time when I lose all track of time and my brain goes to mush with all the hustle and bustle of the season.

I have about 30 cards in my stash already that fit this cause. I'll try to get them in the mail this week, but with Christmas and all it may end up being the following week.

I have a huge stash of cards that I really want to donate - they aren't doing anyone any good sitting in boxes in my closet.
My concern is - do any of these causes want multiples of the same card. I make cards as stress release and I really enjoy making lots of the same card (maybe with background color varieties). I'm talking 50-60 of the same card sometimes.
Do any of the causes you work with want that type of donation? Do you know any who do? My cards are primarily blanks or "thinking of you" varieties. Do have plenty of birthday ones hanging around also. I'm still making more, despite the volume of the stash and can make some specific to their needs.

welcome, I am so glad you found us! The organizations do not request duplicates, but they send them to different people all the time; so I am sure duplicates are fine! I would suggest to send some each month to different organizations. We sponsor a new group every month of the year, so you have plenty of opportunity to deplete your stash. I post the new "cause" usually on the 1st of every month. please let me know if you have any other questions.

Just found this page. Excited to see what next month's cause is. What a great way to support organizations and a reason to create even more cards. I am wondering what you have found is the best method for mailing bulk cards.

Hi I am a brand new SCS member. I am excited to learn about the monthly cause. Sorry that I missed the Dec organization as it's definitely worthy. How do I find out about future places to send to?
