Don't Throw Away Those Used Christmas Cards! -- Before Reading This!
It seems like such a shame to just toss these beautiful and meaningful symbols of the Christmas and Holiday Season. If you don't already know and feel like taking a little time you can get them prepared to send along to St. Jude's Ranch for Children for their use in the Recycled Card Program. The Website explains how your donation of cards will be used in their program with a little preparation before mailing them on to St. Jude's.
The kids recycle these used cards into new recycled cards which they than sell. This program is operated by Kids, Corporation and is run like a business so the children at St. Jude's can learn entrepreneurship and business skills.
The business has been so successful it has been expanded to include All Occasion cards and currently they are looking for both Birthday and Thank You cards to recycle into new cards.
Only the card fronts can be used and because of copyright, etc they can not use Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards. I'm sure they check them when receiving the cards as well.
I'll be getting mine in the mail next week and what a great project for the kids, etc.
May all have a blessed and Happy New Year.
