Collecting the fronts of cards!
This one seems super simple and an easy way to help out. Though I must admit that we don’t received very many cards throughout the year. On top of this the specifications of what type of cards are required limit our donation even further.
Coloring!
Yes, Yes, Yes! This is one that I have already printed out. I went a printed a bunch of fun pictures from the website for my little girl and I to start working on!
DIY Cards for Sick Kids
I live this idea, and it allows for maximum creativity! Here’s some of what we’ve been up too!

Take drawings to your local nursing home!
Some local nursing homes collect drawings from kids to hand out to their residents. You could give them to the front desk, or send them to a resident you know in the nursing home!
Visit your local animal shelter:
This is a great summer time activity, even if you can’t donate supplies you can still go and meet the pets, and spend some quality time with them. We have a new shelter opening up pretty soon.
Donate toys, cloths, or books to kids in need.
We went through the house earlier this year and took several bags to our local good will.
