Good to know! Thanks! (in regards to the St Judes thing)
HEY WC!
Might want to hold on to those cards, the following reply came from St. Judes:
All -
Over the past several months the outpouring of support for the children of St. Jude’s Ranch through our Recycled Card Program has been overwhelming! We have received over one million parcels containing card fronts and this is far more than we can now use. In fact, the cost associated with handling so many cards is beginning to draw from funds that are needed to care for our children. Our kids are buried in cards! Some of our children will continue to make and sell cards but, at this time, we are not accepting any more card fronts.
We deeply appreciate the generosity of those who have shared with us in this important work with the children and your understanding. Our hope is that all of our friends will now focus on sending in Campbell Soup labels (which can be traded for much-needed vans), purchasing the recycled cards made by our kids on this website, and most needed of all, making donations.
Campbell's Soup Label Program
Many people believe that the only way to help make a difference in the lives of the children living at St. Jude's Ranch is through a financial commitment. However, there are several ways that you can help St. Jude's Ranch for Children with nothing more than a pair of scissors, envelope and stamp.
For every 1,100,000 eligible labels we receive Campbell's will purchase a new Dodge minivan for the Ranch. The minivans are used to transport children to and from school, appointments, and extracurricular activities. Meeting the transportation needs of nearly 80 children of all ages can be a daunting task requiring many vans. It is only with your participation in this program that we can continue to provide for this need.
