HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Many of you are feeling the impact of the current crisis caused by Covid-19. We see the disruption it has caused for the families of staff, volunteers and the impact it is having on our homeless brothers and sisters. As you are preparing to wait out this storm, we ask that you remember community. Teams are working tirelessly to provide support and housing to the men, women and children without shelter in our community.

DESCRIPTION

Create and design personalized cards and letters for residents and staff of homeless shelter partners of Big Sunday!

What’s really important here is not that someone is a beautiful writer or artist: it’s to let people who were already struggling know that they’re not forgotten during this trying time.

ITEMS NEEDED

  • paper
  • makers
  • crayons
  • other decorating supplies you'd like to use

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Please make a minimum of 10-20 cards for staff and families of shelters.
