Catholic kids connect with isolated seniors
Pop-up card project connects Catholic kids with isolated seniors
A new outreach project from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is relying on the creative skills of local Catholic kids to bring Easter hope to those still suffering from COVID-19-induced isolation.
Cards of Hope is an initiative of the Catholic Communication Collaboration (C3) Maker Initiative’s Thinker Tank group. The idea: To harness the imagination and engineering talents of elementary-aged children in school and parish programs across the archdiocese to create pop-up greeting cards with Easter-themed messages of encouragement.
The 3D handmade greetings are sent to the office of the Vicar for Women Religious, which coordinates their distribution by women religious to the many in need whom they serve.
