Christmas Cards for Families in Chicago Shelters
11/1/25 - 11/30/25
Cincinnati, OH, USA
SIGN UP
  • Help make the holidays a little brighter for families experiencing homelessness in Chicago. This season, you can create two handmade Christmas cards to share hope, kindness, and joy with parents and children staying in local shelters.

     

    Your words and creativity can lift spirits and remind families that their community cares. Add cheerful drawings, positive messages, or thoughtful wishes to bring a smile to someone’s face this Christmas.

     

    ✨ Guidelines:


    • Make two handmade Christmas cards (no store-bought cards, please).

    • Keep messages warm and encouraging — think joy, hope, and compassion.

    • Avoid including personal contact details - sign your card with your first name and hometown

    • Mail your completed cards to the address provided below by December 10.


    Even small gestures can make a big difference during the holidays. Take a little time to share some love and light this Christmas!
