TIN CARD MINISTRY

Help Sue reach her goal of 1,000,000 cards written!

Sue has been writing cards for years as a way to celebrate friends, family and strangers alike. She has also made it her mission to write cards to help people through the hardest times of their lives. If you have spent any amount of time with Sue, she has given you a card or two and she has probably asked you to write a card for someone in need of support. We will never know how many people have been reached by her kindness in the past, but moving forward, we are keeping count. So far this year, the card count is 10,964! Sue’s goal of sending 1 million cards is well underway, but we need your help. See below how you can help us reach this goal!
