In this day of smartphones and social media, old-fashioned letter writing seems like a lost art. Nonetheless, I’ll bet many of your residents would enjoy the opportunity to send words of encouragement to people through letters and cards.

Soldier’s Angels

This nonprofit organization supports military families, deployed service members, and veterans. These are just a few of the many services they provide:

• Visits to hospitalized vets
• Adaptive technology for injured vets (ex: voice-controlled laptops)
• Box lunches and hygiene kits for homeless vets
