Holiday Kindness Cards - Everyone loves finding a holiday card in their mailbox; our residents are no different! The cards can be handmade or store bought but we ask that they are full of well wishes and messages that create smiles and spread the holiday spirit! If you would like ensure that all residents receive a card - please plan on making 140 cards.
Holiday's for most are a time full of family, friends, thanks and celebration! For many of our residents holidays have been quite the opposite, especially for those who have not had a support system making the holidays feel extra lonely. That is why at the YMCA Supportive Housing Campus we fill the holidays with community, fellowship, hot cocoa and most importantly, hope, dignity and support. Volunteers and donors create smiles and spread the holiday spirit through homemade holiday cards, kindness bags, and wrapped holiday gifts! It is truly incredible when residents receive handmade items full of well wishes and messages that create smiles on the faces of those who call our Campus home. We are grateful to all individuals and groups within our community that reach out with open arms to support and uplift our folks during a time that may otherwise be difficult.
Donations can be dropped off anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. M - F or between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity please contact Brooke Heldt at brooke.heldt@dmymca.org.
