Design Team Member Kate here with a different kind of post than my usual project tutorials.

So you like to make cards...you are making so many cards that you have more than you can send to friends and family...how about putting your mini masterpieces to good use? I've compiled a list of where to donate handmade cards for you!

There are so many charities looking for handmade cards to brighten someone's day. Some ask you to write a simple message, others require them to be blank on the inside. Some ask for envelopes, others prefer none. Please check with the respective websites for their requests.

Where to donate handmade cards for charity

I have donated thousands of cards to charity over the last 5 years. Even if I don't think my card is my best work, I know someone else will enjoy it. It also justifies all my spending on craft supplies! Don't want the expense of mailing these cards? See if your local senior center/nursing home would like some cards to give out to residents or for residents to use to send to their family.

There you have it! Now you have EVEN more of a reason to create handmade cards since you know where to donate cards you make.

    Our church has a prayer and care team. We send out 40-50 cards per month to show encouragement to those who are struggling with a health concern, heavy burden, sudden job loss, death of a loved one, etc. We also send cards for important milestones like weddings, births, baptisms, service to our country, etc. We would LOVE to have cards donated to our ministry. We routinely hear that they make such a huge difference to those who receive them.
