don't throw away those
Holiday Cards! by Diane Parnell
The holidays are behind you. You’ve turned your Christmas tree into mulch for the garden, and carefully folded wrapping paper to be reused. But what about the cards you received from friends and family? You could put them in the recycling bin but how about repurposing them to a good cause instead? St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is a non-profit organization in Nevada, dedicated to rescuing abused, abandoned and neglected children, and they want your used cards! The ranch was founded in 1966
by Father Jack Adam, with the goal of providing a safe, nurturing and therapeutic home for children. The Recycled Card Program offers teens an opportunity to learn life and work skills. It’s easy! Just cut the fronts off your cards, put them in an envelope and mail to: St. Jude’s Ranch for Children 100 St. Jude’s Street Boulder City, NV 89005 Also, go to their website for details about this program and all the wonderful services they provide these children: https://stjudesranch.org/ recycled-card-program
