Our Mission: Sharing Kindness, One Card at a Time

CARDS FOR KIDS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy to children by providing them with greeting cards, art supplies, and creative expression tools to make meaningful connections. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to express themselves creatively and share kindness with others.

Through our programs, children discover the power of handmade cards to brighten someone's day, express gratitude, and build lasting relationships. We transform simple art supplies into vehicles for empathy, creativity, and human connection.

What We Do

Card-Making Kits

We provide complete card-making kits filled with colorful papers, stickers, markers, and templates that inspire children to create personalized greeting cards for family, friends, and community members.

Art Supply Distribution

Our organization distributes high-quality art supplies including crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, and specialty papers to schools, community centers, and individual families in need.

Creative Workshops

We host hands-on workshops where children learn card-making techniques, explore different artistic styles, and discover how their creativity can spread joy to others in their community.

Programs That Make a Difference

School Partnership Program

We partner with elementary schools across the country to integrate card-making into art curricula, teaching children that creativity can be a powerful tool for building community and expressing kindness.

Hospital Outreach Initiative

Our volunteers work with pediatric hospitals to provide card-making activities for young patients, giving them a meaningful way to stay connected with family and friends during their recovery.

Intergenerational Connection

We facilitate programs where children create cards for seniors in assisted living facilities, fostering beautiful relationships across generations and combating loneliness in our communities.

A $25 donation provides a complete card-making kit for one child, including enough materials to create 10 personalized greeting cards. These cards often become treasured keepsakes for recipients, creating ripple effects of joy that extend far beyond the initial gift.

Your generosity helps us reach children who might not otherwise have access to creative materials, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to discover their artistic voice.

Stories of Connection and Joy

"My daughter was so excited to make cards for her grandparents during the pandemic. CARDS FOR KIDS gave her a way to show love when we couldn't visit in person. The supplies were beautiful and the instructions were perfect for a 7-year-old."

Sarah M., Parent from Oregon

"Our third-grade class used the CARDS FOR KIDS materials to create thank-you cards for local healthcare workers. The children were so proud to give back to their community, and it was amazing to see their creativity shine."
