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!
For 29 years, The Furniture Bank has been serving families affected by poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, mental and physical health concerns, and disasters. With the support of industry partners and the Houston community, they work with over 82 social service partner agencies to provide essential furniture to families in need. Furniture assistance means providing the essential furniture that is necessary for family life.
Let’s get crafty and make some fun and cheerful "Thank You" cards that The Furniture Bank will use to say thank you to people who support them and their mission, such as donors and partners!
You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.
Activity Directions
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, if you decide to mail the cards
To start, make fun and colorful designs on the front of your cards. You can include drawings, stickers, stamps and more. Make it your own. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who needs help. What would you say to the people helping you?
Please avoid glitter as it can rub off and can cause health concerns.
On the inside of your cards, include a message:
- Thank you for your support!
- We are thankful for you!
- Thank you for changing the world!
- The world THANKS YOU!
- You make a difference to so many!
- YOU - make the world go round!
- Thank you for helping to brighten someone's day!
- YOU make a difference!
- Please do not put anything religious on the cards.
Sign the cards with your first name only.
Please try to make 3-5 cards and mail or hand deliver them, Mon-Fri (8am-4pm), to The Furniture Bank at the address below. Ask for Cris and let them know you are dropping off on behalf of Generation SERVE.
