The Caring Hearts Card Drive is a crafting community project aimed at providing holiday cards to the elderly living in long term care homes, so they know they still matter and are not forgotten. The drive was started in the US in 2009 but quickly spread across the world. Card makers in the Ottawa area took up the torch in 2017 - creating and distributing hundreds (actually thousands) of A2 (4.25 x 5.5”) cards each year.  

In 2025, we received 4,040 cards from more than 30 volunteer individuals and groups. We were able to deliver cards to the 22 Long Term Care homes that accepted our offer to receive cards for their residents. The homes have told us the residents very much like to receive holiday wishes so CT Design was thrilled to coordinate the card drive in 2025.

Since we have already received requests for 2026, CT Design will be pleased to coordinate the card drive again in 2026. Until then, happy card making!!
