JULY 2018 Mission-CARDS FOR A CAUSE
2018 Cards For A Cause
JULY MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Community Pregnancy Center
Description of Organization: Mission statement: To strengthen women and families by serving those with pregnancy-related concerns through educational, emotional, spiritual, and material support.
The CPC provides many services to new moms and dads including layette package, formula, diapers, counseling, cribs, car seats, etc. They are there for crisis pregnancy as well as anyone who asks for help.
CONTACT PERSON: Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by: Zella - russnzella TYPE OF CARDS: They take all sorts of cards - anything including Baby (for new moms), Birthday (for volunteers), Thank You (for donors), and praying for you. They have also started a mens ministry so cards for men are appreciated too. Envelopes are appreciated but not required. 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: Community Pregnancy Center 180 1st St NW Barberton, OH 44203
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

I wasn't sure you were going to post in July so I pulled out some of the older requests and had already started making some cards for this organization! LOL Great minds think alike! I last letter I got when I donated cards here mentioned that they specifically look for baby cards (to give to the women when their babies are born) and Thinking of You cards - for those women who they haven't seen in a while. Already have a dozen made and hoping to make a bunch more. THANK YOU for posting these opportunities each month. I do so enjoy making cards for organizations who need them.

Cards will be mailed tomorrow. I'm glad I recently made a bunch of baby cards since I'll have company for the next few weeks and won't be stamping as much.
I am going through all the recent cards I have made and selecting the ones to send for this group. I willl probably make some more cards today and get them mailed tomorrow.
Mail a medium flat rate box before I left for vacation last week. Hoping it arrived and all is well. Really enjoyed making the baby cards.

Thanks for taking time to bless this great organization...and bless the new moms, dads, and volunteers! You guys are the BEST!!!!!

I'm eager to hear how many cards total were sent. This group really makes my day. Also looking forward to what is coming up for August. I should have a bit of down time from work so I hope to do a number of cards for the next month as well.
