We launched this project during the pandemic to combat loneliness and isolation of older adults in central CT. Over the past year, the program has grown and we continue to expand the Joyful Notes Project to additional towns across CT!
People ages 3-93 are hand creating greeting cards that we deliver to local older adult living communities.
As a community, we are bringing joy to isolated older adults, mitigating their feelings of loneliness, and letting them know that someone is thinking of them.
We have delivered cards to:
If you are employed at a central Connecticut adult living community or senior center and would like the opportunity to receive cards to distribute to older adults, please contact us using the form below.
We invite everyone, regardless of where you live, to participate in making Joyful Notes. Anyone interested is welcome to make cards at home (if including envelopes, please leave them unsealed), place them together in a larger envelope, and mail them to us at: For All Ages, P.O. Box 61, Simsbury CT 06070.
(If you are local to Simsbury, CT, you may drop your cards in the bin outside the children's entrance of the Simsbury Public Library.)
We will ensure that they are delivered to older adult residents in the greater Hartford, CT area.
After receiving your information, we'll contact you to discuss receiving cards.
