If you are looking for a way to spread kindness and positivity, you can help Caring for Friends by developing “caring notes” for our snack bags, which are filled with nutritious non-perishable items and handwritten personal notes for isolated, homebound, hungry people in the Philadelphia area. This activity is simple, but very meaningful and can be done from your very own home at any time that’s convenient for you and your family.
All you need is a stack of white or brightly colored note cards and some markers or colored pens, and it’s a great family project for adults and kids of any age – Kids who aren’t able to write notes yet can draw pictures or put stickers on the cards, and adults can write the notes.
Write clearly with larger-sized print, as some clients may have poor eyesight. Use colors if possible (colored pencil, crayons, markers, stickers) and/or include a smiley face, heart or other picture. Keep it simple. Do not make religious, political or controversial references, since they may conflict with the recipient’s beliefs.
Would you like to give a small amount of your time helping young children who do not attend a Catholic school prepare for the Sacraments and learning about the Catholic faith?

For more info, please call Kelly Roney at 215-725-2821 or email her at cre@stceciliafcprep.org.

If you have a few hours each week, give us a call at 215-728-2560 (Helen Gordon) and we can talk about volunteer opportunities.
