Organization 1 -  About Angel Card Project

The Angel Card Project is an internet wide charity event designed to send greeting cards to those in need. The project started as a very small grassroots effort to reach a few individuals to let them know they were not forgotten. Supported solely by volunteers, the mission of "Sending Love, One Christmas card at a time" was formed. From humble beginnings of 20
volunteers, over the years we have grown into a large network with participants from many
different countries. In 2020, our 8,000 volunteers gave over 100,000 Christmas cards. 
Details
  • Each volunteer is responsible for their own cards, postage and responsible for making sure all cards are received by the post office. Volunteers can mail as many cards as they want to.
  • A master list of names and addresses will be available around December 1, 2022. Multiple printed copies will be provided at the workshop. Note: If you would like a digital copy of the list, please let us know.
  • Plan to include a return address on your card envelopes.

Organization 2 - Brighten A Day
Brighten A Day Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that combats isolation and lifts spirits by spreading love, hope, and joy through cards, letters, gifts, conversations, video messages, devices, care packages, and more. Recipients celebrate winter a variety of winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah. The organization works with facilities such as retirement homes, hospitals and orphanages to spread cheer.
​Details and FAQs
  • Who do I address my cards to?
    Due to privacy regulations, Brighten A Day does not receive personal information about the recipients of the cards, such as their first names. Note: Consider using a generic greet like Dear Friend or Hello.
  • How many cards can I make?
    There is no minimum or maximum for the number of cards you can make!
  • Do you have ideas for what to send?
    You can also include encouraging messages, quotes, poems, puzzles, drawings, etc. that would bring a smile to the recipient.
  • Can I repeat designs or messages?
    Yes. When we sort cards, we ensure that each card from a volunteer goes to a different facility. This means that all your cards will go to different seniors.
