Card & Letter Writing Drive
The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is a national day of service celebrating the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. Throughout the month, all branches of MCLS are offering opportunities for community members to write letters or make handmade cards to be delivered to homebound participants of the Mercer County Meals on Wheels program. MCLS invites community members of all ages to take a moment to create a letter or greeting card, to make someone’s day a little more special.
Participate anytime between Monday, January 12th through Friday, February 6th, 2026.
- Check with your local branch for opportunities to create cards and write letters for Meals on Wheels recipients.
- Available online and at our branches are a variety of templates and prompts available for participants of all ages to create cards and letters.
- Feel free to draw, color, or add a few kind words to help make someone else’s day special.
