Activity Description
SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! We want to keep Houston volunteering all week long!
Let’s get crafty and make handmade cheerful cards & letters for members of our military. These cards will go to A Million Thanks who distributes cards & letters to service members across the world.
You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.
Activity Directions
We will be using A Million Thanks's letter writing guidelines to make cards. Make fun and colorful designs on the front of your cards. You can include drawings, stickers, stamps and more.
Supplies needed:
- Construction paper or blank cards
- Markers or crayons
- Stickers, stamps, or other art supplies you may have at home
- A mailing envelope and postage
- Please avoid glitter as it can rub off.
On the inside of your cards, include a drawing and a supportive message, such as the ones below, or any other fun, positive, and/or uplifting message! You can also write a joke or riddle. Please sign the cards with your first name, age and where you are from. Please do not put anything religious on the cards.
- Thank you for your service!
- I appreciate you!
- You are awesome!
Only hand written cards/letters are accepted.
Please package your cards in one envelope.
Please try to make 3-5 cards and mail them together in one envelope to A Million Thanks at 17853 Santiago Blvd. #107-355, Villa Park, CA 92861.
