Is the recycled cards program still in need of cards?
By M.A. Kitchens
As an environmental educator, I teach workshops on how to use greeting cards (full cards) to make all sorts of fun things (bookmarks, mini boxes, etc.) I would love to get your cards; please send to: Earth Inspired Crafts and Education, P O Box 1981, Allen, TX 75013-1981
Thanks so much for your consideration!
Forgot to mention (!) that beautiful, dimensional, new cards can be made from pre-used cards; I'll send such a repurposed thank-you card anyone who sends me their stash of cards! Thanks again!
Hello Caseye, are you still collecting used greeting cards? I have about 50-75. thank you!

I have a variety of cards received over the years but would only want to send the front of it because of the notes written. I could cut out the message that went with the card. Could you use these? Pat
Hi Casey - I have hundreds of unused greeting cards that cover many holidays and special days. A friend was cleaning out her house to sell it so I took the cards and bagged them according to category.
Your post carries an older date. Do you still want greeting cards? Just the front? The whole thing? I will be glad to mail them to you. Elaine
This member has not responded in a long time and cards sent to that location are returned to sender. I don't think they are in operation anymore.
Is it OK to cut the backs of cards if we are sure they aren't Hallmark, American Greetings, or Disney? It makes them lighter and cheaper to mail.

This is from the St. Jude web site.
Recycled Card Program
Send your used cards (Christmas, birthday, any type!) to the children at St. Judes Ranch. The kids there will cut the fronts off of the old cards and affix new backs, creating new cards! The cards can be purchased on their website.
Who does this program benefit? It benefits all of US by encouraging us to go green and recycle. It benefits the children at St. Judes Ranch by teaching them about recycling and earning some spending money!
St. Judes Ranch is accepting used, all-occasion cards year round!
You can mail your donations to:
St. Judes Ranch for Children
Recycled Card Program

Some card donating tips:
All types of greeting cards, including Christmas are used.
Only the card front can be used (please check to be sure the back side is clear of any writing, etc.)
They can not accept Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards.
5 x 7 size or smaller is preferred.
This is a tip to not only help sick children learn entrepreneurship, but a chance to teach your own children and grandchildren the gift of sharing and caring, particularly here at Christmas time.
Where do I send holiday cards to be used for St. Jude's Ranch? What is the address? What is the deadline?
After you have enjoyed all those great cards you received from your family and friends, donate them to St. Jude's Recycled Card program.
