ATTENTION TEENS GRADES 7-12: 

Are you looking to make someone’s holiday brighter and earn a few service hours in the process? Why not make holiday cards for our New Lenox nursing home residents?

Kits will be available at the Adult & Teen Services desk on the 2nd floor while supplies last. Each kit has fun materials to make holiday cards, but you are also free to use your own supplies. For every four cards you create, you will earn one service hour.  You will receive a MAXIMUM of two service hours for eight completed cards. 

If we run out of kits, you are still welcome to make holiday cards using your own supplies. 

Sample card pictures have been provided for guidance in the instructions, but feel free to be creative! Your cards don't need to be professional; just make them with love and they will be perfect. Only neatly done cards will earn service hours, so do your best!

All cards need to be returned to the Adult & Teen Services desk (2nd Floor) by Friday, December 19, 2025 so we have time to distribute them.  Please also bring your community service forms so we can sign them.
