The ethos behind Visiting Neighbors since 1972
A new project at Elmwood celebrates charitable and philanthropic organizations on Valentine's Day by sending them a personalized love note or postcard designed specifically with their cause in mind. The idea was to connect with the community as well as an opportunity to attract potential pro-bono jobs.
The thoughtful idea drummed up by Sam B encourages everyone in the studio to think of a charity they want to dedicate their card to, along with a money donation to their cause.
I chose to dedicate my card to Visiting Neighbors, a Senior Care organization who are local to me, where volunteers who visit elderly neighbors to help maintain their independence by escorting seniors to and from appointments or the grocery store, all while getting to know each other.
It's something I am looking to volunteer to doing myself (I love the wisdom of the elders!) so it seemed perfect. The finished cards will be sent out soon for Valentine's Day, so I'll post the finished card when it's out in snail mail!
