Cards for Seniors

Send a smile to a senior community member!
Join the community gathering on June 29th and help craft handmade cards for our local seniors! Our goal is to craft at least 200 handmade cards to be gifted to seniors in low-income retirement homes in North Austin.
No prior arts or crafts experience needed. We'll have cardmaking stations with colorful supplies and sample cards. And staff will be available to help.
This is an all-ages, family-friendly community gathering.
Artwork by seniors enrolled in our Senior Smiles program will be on display to enjoy during the event, and handmade art and crafts by local senior artists will also be available for purchase. Use their creativity as inspiration to create your own cards and sweet messages for local seniors!
All are welcome to join us and enjoy art on display, handmade crafts available for purchase, and card-making together as a community. Light refreshments will be provided.
