Cards will be sent to Deployed Troops so they can write home to their family and friends. Cards that can be sent at anytime are preferred ie: "Thing Of You" Missing You" "I Love You" but you can send holiday and event cards as well. Cards should blank inside and please include an envelope. More than 250,000 cards are needed each year!
Please avoid religious symbols and bible verses __________________________________________________ ___ Project Give Thanks c/o Ann Key 166 S Buchanan Ave Louisville CO 80027-9504
"I keep a box of greeting cards supplied for use by the chemotherapy patients at the Tebo Cancer Center in Boulder CO. While being infused, they have several hours in which they could, for example, write thank you notes to those who are helping them through their ordeal. We can use cards of any theme. Envelopes are a bonus! We can also make complete cards out of your spare card fronts. 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" format is preferred. One time when I was refilling the box, I found that a patient had used one to thank US for providing the cards, saying that she actually looked forward to perusing our "mini art gallery". And several times I have been stopped and thanked on my way in or out of the room. Thank you so much for your contributions."

Hello,
I work for Operation Gratitude and we will happily take as many cards as you would like to send. We include them in care packages for the troops so that they can write home to their loved ones.
Please send me an email at [email protected] and I can send you the details on where to send them.
Thank you so much.

I have a number of "For a Friend" cards that I'd like to donate. Which group would they be appropriate for?

Hi Maggie,
Not sure if you got an answer to your question, but I perused the list below and I think the last one on the list might be a great fit: Project Give Thanks. But I think they would work for several others as well such as Bring Smiles to Seniors; Card Care Connection; Embrace Clinic; and S.C. Dept of Juv Justice. Their request all seem broad enough that "For a Friend" would fit. Good luck.

Thanks Debbie. I will check that one out. And, no, I had not gotten a previous response, so thanks again for your response.

I have sent some to "Bring Smiles to Seniors."
Any other suggestions?
Thank you. |
If you scroll down on this thread, BTurner (and some numbers) is looking for holiday cards for the memory care facility where her parents live. Her posts indicate she is still looking for cards for 2021 so you could contact her to see how many cards she might need. Good luck.
