SAVE YOUR OLD CARDS (JUST THE FRONTS, PLEASE) FOR ST. JUDE’S
We Accept New and Used, All-Occasion Greeting Cards Year-Round!!
St. Jude’s Ranch for Children recycles your used greeting cards and creates new holiday and all-occasion greeting cards. Recycled cards are sold to support our programs and services for abused, neglected and homeless children, young adults and families.
The program is beneficial to everyone – customers receive fun, “green” holiday or other occasion cards they can feel good sending to their friends and loved ones, and the children at St. Jude’s Ranch receive payment for their work and learn basic job skills and the importance of recycling.
Recycled Card Program History - More than thirty years ago, wishing to show our donors appreciation for making St. Jude’s Ranch for Children possible, the idea was conceived to turn the previous year’s Christmas cards into “new” cards for the coming season. The recipients were so delighted when they received the unique “thank you,” that they requested to purchase the special cards. The program soon expanded to include all-occasion greeting cards.
How It Works - Operated by Kids’ Corp., a program designed to teach entrepreneurship skills, the children at the Ranch participate in making the new “green” cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by children and volunteers.
To Donate Cards - Year-round, St. Jude’s happily accept used all-occasion greeting cards. Please review the following tips before dropping off your donation to the Recreation Department in our donation box in the Town Offices (24 N. Amherst Rd) lobby.
~ Only the card front can be used (please check to be sure the backside of the front of the card is clear of any writing, etc.)
~ St. Jude’s cannot accept Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards
