Where can I donate fronts of used greeting cards?

There was a local charity who would accept the fronts of greeting cards to make new ones, but they are now defunct. With the holidays coming, I'd like to find out who could use these for charity. I heard that St. Jude's used to collect these, but no longer can. Who will take them now? How can I find out how they use them? Thanks!

Reply:umm i think you can to any charity
Reply:Any Senior citizens' center would take them to remake more cards.
Reply:Nursing homes might want them.
Reply:Not really a charity but the local primary schools art room might like them. I'm sure they'd have a hundred and one uses and it helps their budget a little
Reply:Bring them to the nearest soup kitchen we collect them and when we have enough of one type the local school kids make cards to hand out to the patrons of the soup kitchen to cheer them up
Reply:Try a local elementary/middle school....they could use them in the arts %26amp; crafts departments to make collages, decopage for the kids.
Reply:Why not save trees %26amp; recycle them yourself? A friend %26amp; her daughter turns some cards into bookmarks by gluing the cards closed (these would be the smaller size) %26amp; sometimes trims the larger cards down - cropping the best areas. Also, if the card has the inserted pages, you can reuse them. Just carefully take out the page %26amp; reprint a new one, keeping in mind the message on the front of the card (gender, occasion, etc) %26amp; size of the card. Almost any word processing application or art program will allow you to type a new message %26amp; appropriately space it on the new page(s). You can even buy most of the standard card size envelopes to sent it off to a new recipient. One friend %26amp; I have sent the same card back %26amp; forth for several years, in our effort to recycle. We know we're thinking of the other in spite of the miles %26amp; years.
Reply:I would save the fronts and incorporate them in some kind of collage or anart project.
Reply:Cut the picture so that the message is gone (Happy Christmas or whatever). Glue them into scrap books and donate them to the children's ward at the local hospital. Kids love looking at them when they are sometimes too sick to do much else.





My mum and I used to do this and we made hundreds of them over the years. We also glued 2 cards of the same size together with a paddle pop stick sticking out the bottom. It made a small fan. Sold well in craft stalls with a little glitter on them!
Reply:check out Craigslist .. they have dozens of listing on charities
