Get your team together on a call and spend 30 minutes making cards for nursing home residents, hospitalized patients, and frontline workers. All you need is paper and a pen, and every single card ends up with someone who needed it.
Good for: Companies, nonprofit organizations, remote teams

Students in Salt Lake City, Utah made cards as a class activity.
Gather your group to make cards and spread positivity. Lay out some supplies, put on some music, and spend an afternoon on something that will truly brighten someone’s day. You can even organize a friendly competition between teams and watch how many you can make together!
Good for: Community groups, service clubs, religious organizations
Film a short video from your team for retirement home residents or frontline workers. If your group members are in band, choir, or on the dance team, this is a wonderful opportunity to share what they love for a good cause.
