The International Order of the Rainbow for Girl’s greeting card project helps bring joy and celebration to some of our frailest and most isolated seniors. Every card is designed and created by you, our volunteers. Often, this card is the only recognition a senior receives on his or her birthday.
Making a card is easy and fun! Whether you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day, or planning an activity for your synagogue youth group, all you need is a bit of paper, a few pens, and a little imagination. Be sure to use colored paper for the outside,but white for the inside to make it easier to read.
Tips:
- The card you create should be able to fit into a 6x9 standard envelope.
- Write in large block (print) letters. As people get older, many have a hard time
- reading small print.
Who may volunteer:
We do limit volunteering to girls within the age range of 11-20 and accompanying parents/guardians, grandparents and siblings only. While we appreciate adult volunteer requests we have recieved, we typically only take adult volunteers from our pool of parents and majority members who have been background screened as a safety precaution for the girls.
