Cards to light up nursing home residents’ Christmas

An opportunity is available to spread Christmas cheer to nursing home residents by sending Christmas cards to the residents.

With families and friends unable to visit, Christmas cards or well wishes would lighten the loneliness for the individuals spending their Christmas in a nursing home or extended care facility.

Address the cards to “resident” and mail to:
