Remember Card Cupids? Their name has been changed to
Sunshine Mail, but they still provide happy mail packages for children in need of comfort, support, and joy - children who are in hospitals, homeless shelters and foster care. At the ladies' retreat I led a few weeks ago, I included a service project to create cards for this great organization.
I created some sample cards with the supplies provided by the group hosting the retreat - First Presbysterian Church in Allen, Texas.
During the retreat, the 28 ladies and teen girls in attendance spent time creating cards, and I packaged up and sent
62 cards to Sunshine Mail! All the ladies and girls joined in to create cards and seemed to really enjoy the creative time. I was truly impressed with their productivity and know that the children who receive these cards will be blessed.
If you're looking for a way to make a difference this year with your crafting, be sure to check out
Sunshine Mail (they also have a
challenge blog with monthly card challenges and prizes).
Great mission project, Melissa. I've led our group in doing Operation Write Home but have never heard of this organization. I'll be sure to check them out :)
ReplyDeleteI imagine the 62 cards will be sent out to comfort children as quickly as possible. What a noble cause for you to be involved in.
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this Melissa! The retreat was wonderful and I know I for one enjoyed working on the cards. I hope the children are blessed by them.
