St. Jude's Recycled Card Program
Old Cards Benefit Children
 Over thirty years ago, St. Jude's Ranch for Children possible conceived an idea for turning the previous year's Christmas cards into "new" cards for the coming season. The recipients were so delighted with their unique "thank you," they requested the children sell them the special cards. And so, the St. Jude's Ranch Recycled Card Program was born.
Since then, the program expanded to include all occasion greeting cards. People from all over the world have sent in their used cards!
Operated by Kids, Corp., a program for the children at St. Jude's Ranc to learn entrepreneurship skills, the children participate in making the new cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive "green" holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of "going green". The cards are available for purchase as well. Donations can be mailed to: St. Jude's Ranch for Children Recycled Card Program 100 St. Jude's Street Boulder City, NV 89005 877-977-SJRC (7572) NOTE: There is an increased need for Birthday and Thank You card submissions. |
