LLD Kindness Cards

LLD Kindness Cards is an instant volunteer opportunity for all ages. Find our tables set up in both Adult and Youth Services to make a handmade card for sick children, veterans, and seniors. Both tables are fully stocked with blank cards, markers, and stickers, along with a box to place completed cards. Instructions and suggestions are at each table and available below.

Each month, the LLD will send the handmade cards to the Chicago-based nonprofit, Cardz for Kidz, who will distribute them across the nation and internationally.

Grades 6-12 can receive up to two hours of volunteer time (5 cards=1 hour of volunteering). All volunteers must check-in with Youth Services, make the cards at the Library, and fill out a volunteer form.

Cards in non-English languages are welcome and encouraged!

Card Writing Tips

  • Uplifting spirits is the goal, so please DO NOT say things like “Get well soon,” “Stay Strong,” “Hang in there,” etc. We want to view the person as a whole, rather than their illness.
  • Please avoid religious sentiments, as individuals may be of any or no religion.
  • Please do not include personal information such as your address or phone number, but remember to sign your name!
  • Since we do not know the person’s name, use a general greeting. Suggestions: 'Hey there!' 'Hey you!' 'To a very special person.'

Card Writing Ideas

  • Sending you lots of big hugs
  • Wishing you sunshiny days
  • You are awesome
  • Never forget how amazing YOU are
  • You rock
  • I hope you have a great day today
  • You shine brighter than the sun
  • I believe in you
