Receiving a warm card can be meaningful and uplifting for many children currently hospitalized. At McLean Art and Lit Club, we dedicated our time and creativity to making handmade cards, which we will later send to CardsForHospitalizedKids, a non-profit organization that distributes them. This act may seem simple, but it has the potential to brighten a child’s day. By doing this, we foster community stewardship and raise awareness for hospitalized children while spreading love and care throughout the community.
As part of our collaboration with the McLean Art and Lit Club at McLean High School, we hosted one card-making session on May 1st and another on May 30th, during which we created cards for hospitalized children, wrote heartfelt messages, and decorated the cards. The card-making session at McLean High School took place from 3 PM to 4:30 PM. Additionally, some members made cards at home and brought them to us. In total, we collected over 20 cards.
