We are making Valentine's day cards for a local nursing home this meeting, February 10th. A patch comes with this project!
National Service Project:
Cupid Crew Cards for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity for you and your troop to reach out and show others that you care—especially those who may be alone on a day that’s all about connection!
For our second year, Girl Scouts of the USA is teaming up with Wish of a Lifetime from AARP, an organization dedicated to celebrating older adults’ stories and forging intergenerational connections, for their Cupid Crew 2022 campaign, a volunteer-driven effort to safely create heartfelt cards for older adults who are socially isolated. Building on last year’s momentum, Wish of a Lifetime hopes to send nearly a quarter million cards through the Cupid Crew campaign.
Your troop can help spread joy to thousands of older adults across the country by writing Valentine’s Day cards as part of the Cupid Crew Cards for Valentine’s Day National Service Project.
Here’s how it works:
1. Discuss the Cupid Crew national service project with your troop.
Talk about how older adults may be experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation, compounded by COVID-19 restrictions.
Have the troop set a goal for the number of Cupid Crew valentine cards to create.
2. Create your valentines.
3. Decide where to send your troop’s cards.
4. Make a plan to send or deliver your Cupid Crew cards.
