Joyful Notes Project in Simsbury, CT

In direct response to quarantining during the Covid-19 crisis, we are partnering with the Simsbury United Methodist Church and First Church of Christ, Simsbury to bring this program to Simsbury, CT. 

Local youth - along with community members of other ages - create handmade greeting cards that we quarantine for 72 hours and deliver to local older adult living communities. 

As a community, we are bringing joy to isolated older adults and mitigating their feelings of loneliness.  

We are currently delivering cards to:

• McLean Life Plan Community independent living residents
• McLean Meals on Wheels to reach individuals living at home
• Anthology of Simsbury residents
• Residents of the Simsbury Housing Authority's Virginia Connolly Residence
• Belden Forest Court residents

Our goal is to deliver more than 260 cards each week!
