St. Jude’s Recycled Card Program

Have you heard of St. Jude’s Recycled Card Program ?  What an easy way to help out an awesome organization for children.  I just learned about it before Christmas last year.  Great timing!  I’ve never found anything better to do with my Christmas cards when the holidays are over.

Kids at St. Jude’s take old cards and take off the front and give them a new back.  These cards can be purchased by placing your order via phone or US Mail (details below).  It’s a great way to go green, using recycled cards, and a great way to support a fantastic cause, helping the kids at St. Jude’s earn a little money!

There are some contribution guidelines for you to check out.  I keep a stack of all the cards we receive that meet the contribution criteria, and when I get a good sized stack, I mail them in.  Here’s some info from their website:

Cards are sold in packets of 10 for $10.00 and are available in the following categories:

• General Christmas Cards
• Religious Christmas Cards
• Easter Cards
• Birthday Cards
• Thank You Cards
• All Occasion General Greeting Cards
