Recipients love when the letters are personal. We encourage you to make your letters colorful and fun. You can include drawings (must be accompanied with at least 2-3 sentences), photos, and inexpensive, non-food gifts. (If you’d like to support an elder with a monetary gift, consider donating to our work so we can bring letters of love to one more elder).  

Write legibly and in large print, and please, no glitter. The words in your letter will shine and shimmer on their own! Please keep in mind that your letter should resonate with anyone. Bundle facilitators will decide whether a letter with faith-based content will remain in the bundle. Last, avoid asking questions that require a response like “What is your favorite…”. This is a one-way letter exchange with no expectation that the elder writes back. Only send a follow-up letter if you have received a response. https://loveforourelders.org/about
