This is my first time as usually all my cards go to Operation Write Home. I am excited to send cards out to a new group. The real kicker is I got to use an embossing folder that is just perfect for new parents.
Since this is my first time, I want to make sure I am doing this right. I send my cards to the address that is listed in Ohio. Looking forward to see what other groups are featured through out the year.

Teresa, thank you for organizing these efforts! I just took a box of 36 cards to the USPS today. It gave me a chance to make some baby cards, something I don't have a lot of call for at this stage of my life. I posted a few of the cards I sent to the gallery area.

Hi, I have never donated cards to "Cards for a Cause" before (I never knew it existed, I just happened to stumble upon it), but I will be sending about 40 cards to the Community Pregnancy Center.
Thank you to all the people who organize this and the people who recommend the organizations.

And yes, if anyone is confused, I joined this site 10 years ago and this is my first post, LOL! About time, huh?

Thank you for the welcome Teresa. I will try to donate as many cards as I can each month. I really enjoy making cards, I just don't have enough people to send them to!

you can add a stamped sentiment, but not a handwritten sentiment. The Pregnancy Center will be sending the cards to others and will write in a personal sentiment. Thank you so much for your willingness to help!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know I'm working on some cards for this much. I'm so glad I found this as I too love make cards but don't always have enough people to give them to. Will try to post some of my creations this month
I got a really nice letter from them today! It's so wonderful that our handmade creation can bring joys to the givers and receivers!! I am very happy that we are making a difference!

I received a thank you letter too. They are very appreciative of the cards, especially the New Baby cards. Glad I was able to participate.

so glad you are here and are willing to help!
We normally send them all at once. I like to send mine out by the end of the month(sometimes, I am later getting them out :oopsIt seems easier to get them together and ship out only once a month. But, please feel free to send them when you are ready.
Let's us know if you have any other questions, we luv helping each other!
