-
Handmade bookmarks using drawing, markers, or other art supplies. Must be colored. If volunteers choose to make several, each must be somewhat different.
-
Handwritten cards with kind, encouraging messages. Please keep messages warm and gentle — avoid overly personal content. Please avoid assumptions about the receiver, and avoid topics of illness, loss, finances, or personal struggles. Messages must be more than 10 words.
EXAMPLE (DO NOT COPY THIS VERBATIM):
I hope this message finds you well and brings a little brightness to your day. Even though we may not know each other, I wanted to reach out with a note of kindness and care.
Please remember that you are thought of and valued. Your life and experiences matter, and the world is better because of the stories and wisdom you carry. I hope you are able to find comfort in the small moments today — a warm drink, a quiet moment, or something that makes you smile.
-
Can be done using brown paper lunch bags. Avoid any words other than “GENERATIONS TOGETHER” on the bag. Must be decorated with colored designs (drawn with markers, colored pencils, etc.)
We suggest flowers, butterflies, cozy everyday objects (like books, plants in pots, teacups), suns, stars, etc. Of course, these are simply suggestions.
-
If chosen, must be more detailed and well thought out. Suggested are landscapes, still life paintings, etc.
Will be awarded with more hours if done correctly.
-
We will be responsible for turning your drawings into keychains.
Volunteers may draw small one main object or character per keychain and cut it out. Traditionally, this is done with felt, but paper drawings are appreciated aswell. Simple shapes with clear outlines and friendly postive designs, such as hearts, flowers, suns, are best.
If your drawing would work as a sticker or charm, it will likely work as a keychain.
-
Crocheted items that avoid copyrighted figures and steer more towards a lighthearted theme.
-
Additional creative contributions are welcome as long as they are appropriate, respectful, and suitable for seniors. Submissions may be reviewed and, in some cases, not accepted. If you’re unsure whether your idea is appropriate, please contact us before submitting at info@generationstogether.us
Senior Care Goodie Bags
Small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference. Handmade items remind seniors that they are remembered, valued, and cared for. At the same time, these projects give volunteers a chance to serve their community through creativity and compassion.
We are currently organizing a community project to create care goodie bags for senior citizens. Each bag includes handmade items created by volunteers to spread warmth, encouragement, and joy.
Volunteers can contribute by creating:
