Stop by the Learning Commons for a warm cup of coffee and a chance to connect through creativity and compassion. Students are invited to design cheerful cards and write heartfelt letters to elders in our community. These messages of encouragement will be delivered to local assisted living facilities, bringing smiles and emotional support to residents who could use a little extra love.

Whether you're artistic or simply kind-hearted, your words and designs can brighten someone’s day in a big way. Come share a moment, make a memory, and help build a bridge of kindness across generations.

Participants are invited to drop in anytime the Learning Commons is open between November 12th and December 3rd to create cards for elders. Please visit the Learning Commons webpage for hours of operation.
