Christmas Cards For Inmates
Loneliness among inmates is most evident at Christmas. Making Christmas Cards is a great way to let incarcerated men and women know they are not forgotten at Christmas. Making Christmas Cards is a great project for churches, businesses, and other organizations. It is very important that you read the Program Instructions, otherwise, your Christmas Cards may not make it into the hands of the inmates.
