Join the Christmas Card Writing Volunteer Project!
As we gear up for the holiday season, we are thrilled to invite you to a heartwarming opportunity to bring joy to our Mon Sheong seniors through the maic of handwritten cards.
Our talented Mon Sheong Youth Group Christmas Card Design Contest winner, Avallon Tu, has created a beautiful card that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. Now, we’re inviting you, our dedicated volunteers, to help spread this festive cheer.
This initiative aims to gather heartfelt messages from our community to share with Mon Sheong seniors. Your words have the power to brighten their holidays and remind them of the love and support that surrounds them.
