BEST USE FOR OLD HOLIDAY CARDS



St. Jude’s Ranch for Children Recycled Cards Program

Well, it’s January. The holidays are officially over. And you’ve got a big ol’ stack of holiday cards from family and friends, don’t you? I just hate to throw them away. After all, loved ones spent precious time and money making them or having them printed.

Donate them to the St. Jude’s Ranch for Children Recycled Cards Program Instead!

The St. Jude’s children make new cards by removing the front of your used card and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful “green” card made by the children. Customers can purchase through the program’s website. The benefits of the program are two-fold: the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green.”To participate, send your used holiday cards to:

ST. JUDE’S RANCH FOR CHILDREN
CARD RECYCLING PROGRAM
100 ST. JUDE’S STREET
BOULDER CITY, NEVADA 89005

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children rescues abused, abandoned and neglected children of all races and faiths from the vicious cycle of child abuse. The Ranch provides healing and nurturing in a safe home-like environment where children can learn life skills to start new lives with new chances, new choices and new hope.
