A fun and creative volunteer opportunity!

The Avon Library and the Avon Youth Services Bureau will provide card-making supplies for you to make cards for the seniors of Avon to bring them joy and cheer this holiday and winter season.

We are partnering with the Avon Youth Services Board to distribute them to the Avon Senior Citizen Center, assisted living facilities, and local oncology centers.

The themes for this session of card making are: Hanukkah, Christmas and Winter!

Please use your creativity and your words to spread some cheer for seniors.  Send messages of support and encouragement.

Who can make cards? The volunteer card making program is open to children, teens, adults, and families.

Important dates:

PICK UP:

• Bags will be available for pickup near the 2nd floor Kid’s Desk, while supplies last!
• Pickup begins Friday, November 8th at 10am.

RETURN:

• We ask that cards are returned by Friday, Dec. 6th by 4:45pm, to allow time for delivery before the holidays.
• Return your cards in a bag with your name on it to the front entrance of the library.
