Help Us Deliver 1,500 Holiday Cards

Q: How does it work?

It’s simple: One order = One handwritten card donated. You shop as usual, and we take care of writing and delivering a heartfelt card to someone in need through the Love For Our Elders network.

For every order placed, we will donate one handwritten card to a senior in a nursing home or care facility.
Each card is a reminder that someone is thinking of them, a spark of joy to those who may be feeling lonely and isolated.

They bring warmth and connection to seniors who may otherwise feel invisible. Your card becomes a tangible reminder that someone sees them, thinks of them, and cares.

“Our residents would benefit from your program. Most of our Residents have no family, and receiving a greeting card would surely put a smile on their faces.”

“What a thoughtful idea! I know many seniors who are isolated and lonely and with the holidays approaching it will only intensify. Thank you again for thinking of us 😀”

“Our residents would really appreciate this generosity for the holiday season.”

FAQ

What is Cards From the Heart?

Cards From the Heart is our holiday initiative to spread joy and connection to seniors in care facilities. For every order placed on our website, we donate a handwritten card to a senior who may be experiencing loneliness and isolation, especially during the holidays.

How does it work?

It’s simple:
One order = One handwritten card donated.
You shop as usual, and we take care of writing and delivering a heartfelt card to someone in need through the Love For Our Elders network.

Who receives the cards?

We partner with Love For Our Elders to connect with nursing homes, assisted living communities, and senior care facilities whose residents can benefit most from a heartfelt message. Many of these individuals experience loneliness and may not receive regular visitors or mail. Your card will be delivered to someone who could use a reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved.

Can I write the card myself?

Yes you can! We invite you to submit a personal message that our team will handwrite on your behalf. After placing your order, you’ll receive a separate email with instructions on how to submit a message. Our team will handwrite your message in the card for the seniors. This is a beautiful way to make your gift even more meaningful.

How many cards are you hoping to donate?

Our goal is to deliver 1,500 handwritten cards this holiday season. Every order brings us one step closer!

Is this a limited-time campaign?

Yes. Cards From the Heart runs through the holiday season. We encourage you to place your order by December 8th to help us reach our goal and ensure timely delivery of the donated handwritten cards to seniors.

Can I donate cards to you?

We’re so grateful for your generosity! While we’re not currently accepting card donations for this campaign, we’d love for you to share that same kindness with a senior in your own life or community.

Consider writing a card and gift it to a neighbor who lives alone, a friend you haven’t kept up with, or someone at a local community center. A few thoughtful words can mean the world, and your gesture could be the highlight of their holiday season.

Can I still participate if I’m not purchasing?

Absolutely! Even if you’re not buying a card through our campaign, you can still make a difference. Take a moment to write a heartfelt note using stationery you have at home (like a blank sheet of paper!) and share it with a senior in your life. Small gestures like this can make a big impact. Don’t forget to tag us @upwithpaper when you share, it helps inspire others to join in!

Can I get in touch for a press feature or media coverage?

For media or press inquiries, please drop us a note here. We’re happy to provide details, images, and stories behind the campaign. We’d love to share more about Cards From the Heart and we’re always excited to connect with others who want to help spread the word.
