Help brighten the holidays for seniors by sending a handcrafted holiday card. The Mount Prospect Public Library has partnered with Alden Gardens in Des Plaines to send holiday cards to their residents. All you need to do is have your child create a card using any art supplies you have at home, making it as simple or as elaborate as they want.
- Then, send the cards to Alden Gardens:
- Alden Gardens
- Attn: Candice Mitchell, Activity Director
- 1221 E. Golf Road
- Des Plaines, IL 60016
- Write “MPPL Card Activity” on the front of the envelope.
- Cards will be held until safe to distribute.
There are tons of ideas on Pinterest and elsewhere – here are some of our faves using supplies most of us already have!!!
