If you're a scrapbooker (or a card maker or some other kind of crafter) with an overstock of handmade holiday cards, Ancaster Community Services would love to use them for our Santa to a Senior program! 🎅🎅 Also, if you're feeling crafty and you would like to make some new cards for us, we would love that too!

Each year, members of our youth engagement program assemble gifts and handwrite holiday greetings for more than 100 seniors in our community. Your cards will help add a personal touch to each gift and bring a little holiday warmth to a senior in our community. ♥️♥️

If you are interested in donating cards, please contact [email protected] before Friday November 27.
