Birthday cards for any age are always appreciated! I can also use "You're Great/Awesome/You Rock"-type encouragement cards, and Happy Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa cards. Thank you! ~ Jen

ReplyDeleteYes you can. The current needs page is updated every month or two, except for the volunteers who are "on hold" due to Covid-19. When their hospitals begin accepting cards, their needs will be updated as well. Thank you!
