Summer is a wonderful time to spread warmth, kindness, and a little extra cheer-especially to older adults who may be feeling isolated or lonely. Are you or someone you know looking for a meaningful way to brighten someone’s day? If so, we’ve got the perfect opportunity to make a difference!

It’s easy! Just fill out our online form by clicking on the "I Want To Help!" button above, then click "continue" to be directed to the sign-up form.

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive an email with all the details, including where to send your summer cards. Please note: all cards must be received by Friday, May 16th!

By signing up for our Cards Connect program, you're not committing to send cards year-round. We’ll simply send you a reminder email each quarter when we’re getting ready to send out cards-you can decide whether or not to participate each time!

We can’t wait to share your thoughtful creations with older adults across Minnesota who could use a little extra sunshine in their lives.
