About This Program

The Cards of Hope Program is a nationwide initiative designed to bring joy, encouragement, and emotional support to children in hospitals, foster care, and shelters. Volunteers across the country create personalized, uplifting cards using simple materials such as paper, markers, colored pencils, or recycled supplies they already have at home. Each card carries a message of hope, positivity, and care, reminding children that they are valued and loved, even during difficult times.

Volunteers can participate in whatever way works best for them — whether crafting cards from home, with friends, or through schools and community groups. While purchasing materials is optional, many volunteers use items they already have, making this program easy and accessible for everyone.

The impact of this program is profound: each card serves as a tangible message of support that can uplift a child’s spirit, improve their emotional well-being, and remind them that someone cares. By participating, volunteers gain the satisfaction of directly contributing to a child’s happiness and the skills of organization, empathy, and leadership.

Volunteers can deliver these cards to local hospitals in their areas send an email to hope4kidz.us@gmail.com with pictures to be awarded volunteer hours!
