Virtual Volunteer Day

Spreading Sunshine mission's is to serve families impacted by childhood illness. One of the ways we do that is by sending Sunshine Boxes to children in Memphis and across the United States. Each Sunshine Box is custom built with age-appropriate toys and activities to brighten a child's day. Handmade Sunshine Cards are an important part of our Sunshine Boxes. You can help share some sunshine and spread a little joy.

Materials Needed:
Construction paper, white paper or card stock Crayons, colored pencils or markers Stickers including those with encouraging or uplifting messages Paint/finger paint, scissors or glue (if you are super crafty)

1. Design Your Sunshine Card
What makes a Sunshine Card special is YOU. The main thing is to smile, turn on a little music and have fun creating a little sunshine for someone. https://iheartcraftythings.com/you-are-my-sunshine-card.html

2. Create Your Sunshine Card
Now that you've decided what to do, it's time to get to work. The art may come easy to you, but you may not be quite sure what to write. Here are a few affirming messages to choose from. Sending you sunshine Sending smiles Wishing you a sunny day You are loved Praying for you Thinking about you. Have a bright day! You may choose to write a personal message in your card. Please keep it positive and encouraging. Sign your first name only on your card and where you are from, if you like. It will mean a lot to families receiving your card to find your personal touch. Imagine them knowing you cared to share your sunshine from another state. How bright!
WHAT NOT TO SAY: Please do not write "get well" or "hope you get to feeling better" as many of the children we serve face life-threatening illnesses.
