JUNE 2017 Mission - Cards For A Cause
2017 Cards For A Cause JUNE MISSION
Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED:
South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice
Description of Organization:
The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is a state cabinet agency, and by law, it is also a treatment and rehabilitative agency for the state's juveniles.
DJJ is responsible for providing custodial care and rehabilitation for the state’s children who are incarcerated, on probation or parole, or in community placement for a criminal or status offense.
Our goal at DJJ is to protect the public and reclaim juveniles through prevention, community programs, education, and rehabilitative services in the least restrictive environment possible. We welcome you to our website, and invite you to learn more about DJJ and what we do for the communities, citizens, and children of South Carolina.
South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice
CONTACT PERSON:
Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by:
Sue - bensarmom
TYPE OF CARDS:
miss you, thinking of you, birthday, congratulations, thank you, see you soon, get well, encouragement, Christian, and cards without an occasion listed on front.
Stamp some on the inside for youth who don’t quite know what to say, leave some blank for those kids who are more expressive. We’d love a variety! please include envelopes.
SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS:
so if we can make the humble request to not include anything that may be considered “sharp” that would be awesome...such as metal, straight pins, or staples.
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:
Jennifer Wallace Office of Volunteer Services
4650 Broad River Road
Columbia, S.C. 29210
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
Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!
Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of June!
Once you have mailed them come back to us here

Will look through my stash and see what I have. I like knowing what kinds of cards they need so I will get busy and make a bunch, too.
Thanks for the mission for this month!

I offered to puppy sit our daughter's mini doxie the past week. I was only able to make 3 cards so far because he is my new Best Friend and it's hard to make cards with him sitting on my lap! LOL!
I'll get more done next week, he goes home on Tuesday afternoon. It was fun but geez, he sure has a lot of energy and we're not used to being so "popular"!!

I just got this from Jennifer Wallace. If any of you haven't sent cards yet, she's added thank you cards to the list. Bless you ladies for all of the love that goes into making cards.
Good morning Sue,
We received two boxes today one from New Jersey and one from Illinois! It’s so awesome to see cards pour in. Truly we are so incredibly grateful! The kids are so happy to see them, staff are absolutely delighted and it’s honestly a win-win all the way around. Please share how impactful this card ministry is to our young people (and our not so young people). At the request of the kids, the activity department actually has been working on making cards with youth. These cards are inspiring young people to give and to also create. It’s a truly beautiful thing! Thank you!!
Speaking of grateful, if I may make a special request...we are working on the importance of gratitude with youth and thus are burning through “thank you” cards. Youth are sending them to volunteer groups who spend time behind the fence, family members who have made a special impact, and even staff. It’s been a really beautiful thing. May I be so bold as to request additional thank you cards?
Great thanks to you for rallying troops and showering us with the most precious creative gifts imaginable. I appreciate you, Sue. Thank you so much!
Best,
Jennifer Wallace

I'm so glad I checked in. I'm working on my box of cards and was going to switch to making more birthday cards but I think I'll go with what I have and add some more thank you cards.
I'll also go through my stash. I'm sure I can include some stamp sets for them.

I just mailed my cards today. I can't believe the impact the cards are having on the kids at this place. They want to make some of their own cards! Thank you God for helping make a difference in these kids' lives through the cards we make.

Oh my, MicheleUke. I'm so sorry to hear you sprained your ankle. Your cards can be accepted any time during the year. Pamper yourself, put that foot up, and take it easy. Praying for a speedy recovery.Hugs,
sue

Thank you so much ladies. Your cards mean so much to this organization. It's helping kids connect where they haven't been able to before.
