Tis the season to spread some holiday cheer. But for many, that cheer is few and far between. For people in nursing homes, retirement facilities, and long-term care, they may not get to see family members or friends due to the pandemic this holiday season.

We asked you to send us 2,000 cards. It was a goal we thought we’d get. But you CRUSHED our goal, sending us over 5,200 cards for seniors!

We’ve been delivering these cards to local facilities while staying safe.
