Each month, Harvesters distributes nearly 5,000 CSFP food boxes to food insecure seniors. These boxes include shelf stable items like cereal, pasta, canned vegetables, and juices. Please help us share an upbeat messages in each one of these boxes. You can scrapbook or decorate a card and include a handwritten, up-beat message.
Any quantity of cards will gladly be accepted. This is a great project for individuals or groups (faith-based, schools, service organization, etc.). One hour of service will be given for every 10 handmade cards completed. Please note if cards are purchased and not handmade, volunteer hours will be credited at the discretion of Harvesters' staff.
Service hours are only credited for non-legal purposes and limited to 8 hours (80 cards) per month.
In order to receive service hours, cards must meet the following guidelines.
- Please be sure to include positive messages.
- Let them know you are thinking about them.
- Phrases like “Happy Holidays” , "Happy Valentine's Day", "Hopping into Spring", and "Summer Fun" are fine but need to be seasonally appropriate. Food puns and generic messages are greatly appreciated.
- Please write legibly and spend time working on each card.
Once cards are completed they can be mailed or drop off at:
Harvesters Kansas Distribution Center
Attn: Community Engagement Team
1220 Timberedge Road
Lawrence, KS 66049
