Where can I donate my UNUSED Christmas cards?
I have dozens of new, unused Christmas cards that I've accumulated over the years (mainly from buying them in bulk or from receiving them in the mail from places like the HSUS). Does anyone know of a charity or organization that collects them or would be able to use them? I know the situation is a little different because they aren't used - so using them to make new cards would be redundant.
I've considered recycling, but it seems a waste if there's someone who could use them for something else!
Take them to a local Nursing Home. Or Hospital . Those people can not get out to buy them. & most cannot afford them in the nursing home. Even if they cannot afford the postage, & they never get sent , they feel like they have given a gift! To ensure they are sent you can give them & go back, pick them up & send them for them. I realize Postage is high , so you could go out 30 minutes a day & ask for donations even a dime at a time will help. These people were YOU and ME At one point in their lives. & had Friends & family & now they are so forgotten. & need our help. You can make them feel wonderful for Christmas! & So can Your Neighbors!
If this is not feasible for you , Call the nursing home & ask who NEVER receives a card , Or HAS Never had a visitor & ask if you donate them & , will the staff make sure to give these people a card & all sign it !
GOD BLESS YOU ! These people are People too ! & their Families do not care anymore .;; They need to know someone Does! God knows I do ! What about you? I know you do , so get in the true Spirit Of Christmas & Give from the HEART!
