Over thirty years ago, wishing to show their donors appreciation for making St. Jude’s Ranch for Children possible, the idea was conceived for turning the previous year’s Christmas cards into “new” cards for the coming season. The recipients were so delighted with their unique “thank you,” they requested the children sell them the special cards. And so, the St. Jude’s Ranch Recycled Card Program was born.

Since then, the Program has expanded to include all occasion greeting cards…just about anything that starts with a used greeting card.  People from all over the world have sent us their used cards!  The children participate in making the new cards by using the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive “green” holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”.  The ongoing support for the Recycled Card Program has been overwhelming!  Your submissions are welcome!

NOTE: There is an increased need for both Birthday and Thank You card submissions.

You may also purchase from St Jude’s Ranch, the “new” cards (all occasions) at $10.00 for 10 cards.  For more information please visit www.stjudesranch.org and click on Recycled Card Program or you may contact Jeremy Borden at jsb2001@comcast.net
