Rita Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm in the middle of a major declutter, and have tons of old birthday/christmas cards. Is St. Jude's the only charity that actively reuses them? Any other suggestions? I hate to toss them if they could be used, but I'm ready to PURGE!!!!!!! Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The Rotary used to take them too, but I am not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have always thought this would make a fun fall party, and a way to use up new left over cards: Get some friends together and put all your old Christmas cards into stacks and trade them out. Or do a mix and match set and everyone gets a stack. The more people bring, the more they go home with. Much like a cookie or dessert swap. I also have thought about trying to organize a simple school fundraiser (we are in a public school/home school hybrid) that has everyone donate left over cards at the end of the holidays, (or throughout the year if you have a drop box) and then let the kids bundle them and sell them off for cheap...like $1 for a pack of 12 the next fall. A simple sort of funny, religious, nostalgic etc would be the only way to know what was in the pile. If I ever did do this I was going to try to get dh's coworkers to chip in some old cards and hit up a few neighbors. I think most people have some cards laying around that they won't be using and would like to find a way to get rid of them. Doesn't help you now...but maybe someone else knows of something similar that is already up an going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
