Letters to older and disabled adults in nursing home - Fall/Winter Edition
|
Help us bring some cheer to older and/or disabled adults in nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Middle Tennessee by sending them heartfelt letters, letting them know that we care about them. We are looking for uplifting letters that will bring their recipients some joy! You can sign up for the different rounds: September Round: Book/Movie theme (share about your favorite books or movies); letters mailed so they are received between September 1st and 30th. October Round: Fall or Halloween theme; letters mailed so they are received so they are received between October 1st and 31st. November Round: Gratitude theme; we recommend mailing letters by November 19th, if possible. December Round: Winter/Holiday wishes; please mail letters so they arrive prior to December 31st, for holiday specific letters please mail at least 1.5 weeks in advance to allow time for distribution. If you are interested in sending letters and/or art, please sign up and we will contact you with specific instructions for the letters and the address to send them to. Children are welcome to contribute also (an adult is required for minors to sign up). This opportunity also works well for groups who'd like to do a service project together at a location of their choosing. Volunteers will be required to have their own materials for the letters and any additional artwork you'd like to add, as well as stamps to mail the letters on hand (or you must be able to take them to the post office). I will try my best to provide you with one address for your letters so you can mail them together in a large envelope. Please allow 48 hours to get back to you with the instructions. If you are in need of community service hours, we are happy to confirm your hours for you as long as you submit pictures of your letters as proof. Please track and log the actual time you spent working on the letters/cards. Please check with your institution if they have specific requirements of how many letters you need to complete to get your hours approved.
