    Description

    Create Spring Cards for Older Minnesotans!

    Spring is the perfect time to share joy and brighten someone’s day—especially for older adults who may feel isolated after winter. Looking for a meaningful way to spread some cheer? We’d love your help!

    Friends & Co’s Cards Connect Program sends homemade seasonal cards to over 500 older adults across Minnesota. This spring, we’re seeking volunteers to create cheerful, fun cards for our next mailing. Cards can be made at home or out in the community and then mailed or dropped off at Friends & Co.

    Interested in making cards?

    Sign up for our Cards Connect email list here: tfaforms.com/5137824. After signing up, you will be sent an email with the details about making spring cards. Please note that spring card creations due by Friday, May 15.

    Signing up via email doesn’t commit you to every season—we’ll simply send a reminder each quarter, and you can choose to participate anytime.

    Thank you for helping bring a little extra joy to older adults across Minnesota this spring!
