HappyMail
In this age of screens and instant communication, we often forget the power of a handwritten note. You have the power to brighten a senior’s day with just a few minutes of your time by creating a kind, personalized card complete with original artwork and a handwritten message.
The Happy Mail Program
Our HappyMail program brings joy to the elderly by distributing handmade cards and letters to isolated seniors. Handwritten messages can go a long way to brighten a senior’s day!
With the help of thousands of volunteers, we’ve delivered thousands of letters and cards to isolated seniors.

HappyMail Guidelines:
- Handwrite a kind, sincere and joyful message. Use legible writing and keep the text large. Personal messages are amazing! Feel free to add drawings or photos.
- Leave the letters or cards undated
- Sign your message with your first name – it’s also great to include your City, State/Province and Country. Seniors love to know where they are receiving cards/letters from!
- No glitter, please!
