Are you looking to help your community while staying home?
Writing a quick card or letter with a positive message will brighten the day of clients who receive grocery deliveries! If you do not wish to write a message, that is okay! Artwork will also be accepted (photographs, drawings, paintings).
Feel free to be creative and have fun. Bonus points if you can incorporate food into your work!
This is also a great project for kids.
Please keep the cards secular and avoid mentioning any specific holidays.
