At one time I sent my greeting card fronts to Saint Jude’s Children’s Ranch in Boulder City, Nevada. I am enclosing what I found on their website:
Card Program Overflowing
In recent months the outpouring of support for the children of St. Jude’s Ranch through our Recycled Card Program has been overwhelming! We have received over one million parcels containing card fronts and this is far more than we can now use. In fact, the cost associated with handling so many cards is beginning to draw from funds that are needed to care for our children. Our kids are buried in cards! Some of our children do continue to make and sell cards but St. Jude’s Ranch for Children no longer accepts used card fronts.
Our hope is that all of our friends will now focus on sending in Campbell Soup labels (which can be traded for much-needed vans), by purchasing the recycled cards, and most needed of all, making donations.
Cards are available in packages of 10 cards/envelopes for a suggested donation of $8.00, (includes postage and handling fees). If you would like to order packages of recycled greeting cards, send your request and donation to:
