Every week Growing Spoons will give out hand made/ digital cards to support either hospitals or homeless shelters, helping bring joy to youth who are facing different challenges.

 

With the help of your donations here’s how we’re making a difference:

.

• 💌 Spreading Kindness with Handmade Cards: Alongside our fundraising, we’re creating cheerful, handmade and digital cards to be delivered to youth in the hospital as well as homeless shelters. Each card carries a message of love, encouragement, and hope.

• 🌟 Double the Impact: Every donation supports both a youth's wish and delivers a smile through a heartfelt card.

• 🧒 Made by Kids, For Kids: Our fundraiser encourages young people to take part in giving back—by crafting cards, spreading joy, and learning the power of kindness.

​

How It Works

• Volunteers can sign up to make cards at home, in schools, at community centers, or at our organized workshops.

• We provide sample messages, design ideas, and basic guidelines to ensure all cards are positive and appropriate for children.

• Completed cards are collected by our team, reviewed, and then packaged with gifts or care items during deliveries.

Who Can Volunteer?

• Individuals, families, classrooms, clubs, youth groups — anyone who wants to make a difference.

• No artistic talent required — just love and effort!

Card Guidelines (Quick Tips):

• Keep messages uplifting, kind, and age-appropriate.

• Avoid mentioning illness, religion, or money.

• Use cheerful drawings, bright colors, and stickers if you'd like!

• Sign with your first name and city (e.g., “Love, Mia from Maple Ridge”)

Special Projects:

• Holiday Card Drives: Each season, we host themed card-making campaigns (Valentine’s, Winter, etc.).

• Birthday Bundles: Volunteers can help make custom birthday cards for kids on our wishlist registry.
