2020 Cards For A Cause
FEBRUARY MISSION
Stamp from the Heart!

ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED - Fire Family Foundation

DESCRIPTION - Fire Family Foundation provides support to firefighters and their families during times of need.  They provide financial support to the Fire Family.  Daily firefighters are ready to endure searing heat, exposure to carcinogens, collapsing buildings and other life threatening conditions.  They are the front line of defense for all our communities.  They show up when we need assistance.  This is a time for us to show them how much we appreciate them and their sacrifice.  Fire family Foundation is a staff of two people who know the value of a heartfelt thank you!  They are requesting cards to send to the firefighters and their families in need, their donors, and their volunteers.

Website - www.firefamilyfoundation.org

Type of cards requested - an assortment of blank, thank you, adult and kids birthdays, various holidays and anything else you may want to send them.  Firefighters have told them cards would be appreciated.  Please include envelopes.

Fire Family Foundation



Elizabeth Dever, MBA



Executive Director



815 Colorado Blvd

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 FIRETRUCKS.  Let’s show some Fire Family Foundation that
we appreciate the firefighters and all who volunteer and donate to help
them. 




Thank you for all you do!!

The formatting hurts my brain, lol!  But I was able to read enough to know how to proceed for February.  Let's hope the formatting is fixed soon!

It appears that formatting is still an issue.  I even tried to send the cause info by PM and the formatting issue is there too.  So if anyone needs me to I can email it to them.  Just email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to send it via email.  Thanks!

I only have one little fire truck stamp so I decided to use it on the back of the cards I'll be sending.

Thanks!  This cause is near and dear to my heart since I have a BIL, 3 nephews and a cousin who are all fire fighters.  I need to get crafting so I can send some cards to this organization.

Is there a suite #? I went to my postal office and they told me it's missing something in the address? Anyone else have issues?
