St. Jude's Ranch for Children
Recycled Greeting Cards
Over 30 years ago, wishing to show our donors appreciation for making St. Jude’s Ranch for Children possible, the idea was conceived for turning the previous year’s Christmas cards into “new” cards for the coming season. The recipients were so delighted with their unique “thank you,” they requested the children sell them the special cards. And so, the St. Jude’s Ranch Recycled Card Program was born.

Now, the Recycled Card Program includes all occasion greeting cards…just about anything that starts with a used greeting card.

Operated by Kids’ Corp., a program at St. Jude’s Ranch, the children participate in making the new cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive “green” holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”.

NOTE: There is currently an increased need for Birthday and Thank You card submissions.

•Only the card front can be used (please check to be sure the back side is clear of any writing, etc.)

•They cannot accept Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards.

Mail your donation of used greeting cards to:

On A Mission to Fight Hunger!
More than 20 years ago on Super Bowl Sunday, the youth of one congregation were inspired to do something to fight hunger. Out of their efforts came the “Souper Bowl of Caring.”

Since 1990, the Souper Bowl of Caring has raised more than $71 million for organizations that fight hunger throughout the United States. It has also transformed the biggest weekend of football into the largest weekend of giving.

On Souper Bowl Sunday, you are invited to make a special contribution to fight hunger in our community and put God’s love into action. On Sunday, February 5, place your Hunger donation into the soup pot, which will be passed with the offering plates. You can also mail a donation, just make sure it is marked “Souper Bowl”. Your donation will go to fight hunger right here in the community.

With your help, more money will be raised to fight hunger and change lives than will be spent on Super Bowl advertising! More info at www.tacklehunger.org.
