There are many single fathers living in homeless shelters, prisons, hospitals, AIDS facilities and nursing homes that have lost contact with their families. Your family can help these men reconnect with their loved ones by creating cards that say, "I Care". Make ten cards and package them with a pen and stamps in a large envelope.

Time Required:
1 to 3 hours (depending on how elaborate your card creations are)

Materials Needed:
An oversized envelope, 10 card size envelopes, blank cards or white paper cut to the size of your envelopes, a variety of art mediums (markers, paint, stamp pads, sponges, etc.) pen, and postage stamps.

Steps:
Call shelters, nursing homes, prisons or AIDS centers in your community and see if they need your special cards. Buy or make 10 blank cards that can be decorated. Decorate the cards either on the computer or using various art supplies. Old card fronts can also be cut and glued to a new card. Write a description of the project or a caring poem on the outside of a large envelope. Fill the large envelope with your card creations, postage stamps and a pen. Distribute your card creation kit to your center of choice.
