MakeItMerry

Helping spread Christmas joy through the mail to those who need it most. Christmas cards for the homeless. #MakeItMerry (A project of @ritewhileucan )

MakeItMerry looks different for 2019. We are scaling back operations. We will host two ‘post offices’ + will provide supplies to anyone in shelters to write a Christmas card of their own + then mail it for them. We will NOT BE COLLECTING OR DELIVERING Christmas cards this year.

Thank you so much for joining us in ‘making it merry’ these past years through the simple yet profoundly meaningful act of hand writing a Christmas card. #yyc #makeitmerry #handwritten #christmascard

Thank you to @atbfinancial for partnering to be local drop off points. To our many volunteers – this could not have happened without you. Thank you for picking up, delivering, reading, sorting and packaging all those cards! You are the ‘merry’ elves indeed.

[MakeItMerry @UcanMakeItMerry]

We are beyond grateful to all who have been involved; to the young people (and teachers) who have put their artistry to work and crafted cards, to families, to many biz in #yyc, to everyone @mrktcollective to every single one of you, words do not express our thanks.

[MakeItMerry @UcanMakeItMerry]

MakeItMerry has collected and delivered over 10,000 Christmas cards over the past five years. Each card has touched a heart, has made an impact and has brought joy to those who often feel invisible. Your card has made someone feel noticed and more importantly, loved.

Calgary's East Village is a beacon for the future. Scale and density are just right, a lovely mix of new and old, high quality, walkable public spaces. And it's all anchored by a state-of-the-art, community-focused new central library. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Thank you @UcanMakeItMerry for teaching us about #empathy & how we can spread joy this holiday season. We were inspired to make #handwritten Christmas cards. Thank you for delivering them to those experiencing homelessness in our community. @RIDparkschool

Having experienced life on the streets himself, @tomjacksonca discovered music was a way to help others.

Join us at the #HuronCarole on Nov 26 as Tom Jackson & friends share Christmas songs, stories, and his single, Soul Angel.
