Homemade Christmas Cards For Seniors Needed. Each December, Faith in Action hosts its annual Christmas Care Drive called Gifts of Hope and mails Christmas cards and gift certificates to over 200 seniors in our area. The gift cards will be provided by FIA. We are looking for homemade cards with envelopes. (No oversized or odd-shaped cards please, as these require extra postage.) Cards should be Christmas/holiday-themed and can be decorated however you like. Please sign your first name and state that you are a Faith in Action volunteer. Do not seal the envelopes as we will also enclose gift certificates. We are also looking for postage stamps to help cover the cost of mailing these cards. 

Drop off the cards Nov. 30 at 630 Adams St., Wausau, in the FIA office in Immanuel Lutheran Church. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. If you have any questions, contact Jamie at 715-848-8783 or email [email protected].
