Letters for the Elderly

Virtual Opportunity-Write a meaningful letter or card to elderly citizens

About This Volunteer Opportunity

We're asking for kind, handwritten letters for this non-profit organization to send to senior facilities.

 **All cards/stationery/postage/pens used will need to be provided by the employee volunteering. **

Before sending your letter(s), here are some guidelines:

1. Letters must be legible (large print) and handwritten. No worries if you’re not artistic– make your card as what you’d like to receive.

2. Avoid religion. Please refrain from including anything religious in your letters, such as religious quotes, words like "God," etc.

3. Exclude the date (day, month, and year).

4. Embrace creativity! Recipients love it when the letters are personal. We encourage you to make your letters detailed, thoughtful and heartfelt.

5. Be kind and thoughtful (more than talking about yourself). This is a one-way letter exchange, meaning you will not receive a letter back, so remember that no reciprocation attached is part of the beauty of your act of kindness, and the recipients don’t feel burdened by feeling obligated or being unable to respond.
