AUGUST 2017 Mission - CARDS FOR A CAUSE
2017 Cards For A Cause
AUGUST MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Meals on Wheels/YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix
Description of Organization: By delivering a daily nutritious meal, a friendly visit, and a safety check, Meals on Wheels volunteers are helping to combat three of aging’s most harmful threats: inadequate nutrition, isolation, and declining quality of life.
CONTACT PERSON: Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by: Jeannie Thomas - jeannie1862 TYPE OF CARDS: Anything happy and uplifting, thinking of you, birthday, get well soon. Please include envelopes. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: NONE
GUIDELINES: Please keep in mind, we are representing SCS by sending our cards each month. Recycling is always good, but only use products on your cards that you would like to receive on cards. Also, our card donations are not tax deductible and it is not required. Please do not ask for a receipt. There have been groups that will send thank you's but the "referred by" person keeps us informed and passes on the thank you's. Most of these organizations are volunteers and spend countless hours helping others, lets help make their jobs easier and bless them in helping others.
MAILING ADDRESS: Jeannie Thomas 2050 W Hazelwood Pkwy Phoenix, AZ 85015
For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not. This months challenge is to be inspired by the color/mood board, see first post below. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this gallery C4AC click here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link. Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge

I love the colors for this month! Normally I don't use any specific colors but these are just so "happy". Looking forward to making cards for this organization.

Could you clarify for me, please? Do these cards go to the volunteers, or will they be given to the recipients of the meals? I am sure to have some DTGD cards available!
Hi Dorothy! The cards are tucked in with the deliveries of those who are receiving the meals as a little pick me up. They will also receive birthday cards, and get well cards as needed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you!

Hi all! Yea, I love this month's Mission!! I've got 18 cards going postal in tomorrow's mail. But they're going to Phoenix, so I'd much rather hand deliver them. 🌵🌵🌞🌵🌵

Mine left on Sat. and are due to arrive today - it is only about 50 miles, after all! I hope both the drivers and the recipients enjoy the hand crafted bounty!

thank you all so much for your continued support, of each other and with c4ac.
I have had my hands full the last 12 twelves days. MIL went into hospital for second time since april(stroke, no paralyze...mental and internal body function) she was put into a nursing home for skilled care, but she needs to stay. we have been trying to get her on medicaid, clean her apartment, before professional cleaners come, take over her bills, we are still working and the only two who can assist....everything was a mess. she wanted to keep her independence and we were trying to let her....no more. this has been the hardest thing we have ever done, it many ways it is worse than death. please keep us in your prayers!

Teresa. that is so sad to hear. My prayers are with you for the strength that it takes at this time as well as for the ability to make the decisions that face you.
Teresa,Praying for all of you. We went through this in Feb of this year. Mom is in a nursing home and some days knows it and other days thinks she's at home. It is hard tobe the only ones to help. Hang in there, God's in control.
Hugs,
Sue
