Volunteer: Charity Calls For Volunteers To Write Christmas Cards To People Who Are LonelyLoneliness at Christmas has always been a particularly prevalent issue, but no more so than in 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic ripping families apart. So, we thought it was important to find a way to reach out to those in need this year - introducing The Angel Card Project. Founded in the US by volunteer Mark Martin, the organization encourages volunteers to sign up to write as many cards as they wish from a database of lonely individuals, nominated by the public. These could be elderly people, alone because of the pandemic, army veterans or simply people who had fallen on hard times and found themselves without a support network. And the idea of the project was to encourage "sending love, one Christmas card at a time". Our hearts. First started in 2001, the project originally only had 20 volunteers and ran on a very small scale. But now its amassed thousands of supporters from countries across the globe, all of whom want to pick up their pens and offer their support to the cause. Last year, they sent out a whopping 71,000 Christmas cards, and they hope to surpass this number next month.
