The holidays are just around the corner and if you are looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community, we invite you to consider sending a greeting card to a resident living in long term care.

Sending a greeting card with a short note to someone who may be feeling lonely or disconnected is a great way to spread some joy and kindness. You can choose to involve the whole family and children can take part in the fun as well. Hand-made cards or pictures would also be very much appreciated and will definitely brighten someone’s day. And if you are looking for a fun team building project, this is a great activity to do with your co-workers as well!

To send a card to a resident in long term care, simply address the card to “Any Resident” and then include the address provided (see list below). Cards can then be mailed and will be distributed to the resident by the LTC facility. Send one or send many. The choice is completely up to you.

If you have any questions about this initiative, please reach out to us at 519-376-1560 or fundraiser@unitedwaybg.com

Thank you for caring about your community and for making a difference one card at a time!
