2016 Cards For A Cause
MARCH MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Community Pregnancy Center
Description of Organization: Mission statement: To strengthen women and families by serving those with pregnancy-related concerns through educational, emotional, spiritual, and material support.
The CPC provides many services to new moms and dads including layette package, formula, diapers, counseling, cribs, car seats, etc. They are there for crisis pregnancy as well as anyone who asks for help.
CONTACT PERSON: Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by: Zella - russnzella TYPE OF CARDS: They take all sorts of cards - anything including Baby (for new moms), Birthday (for volunteers), Thank You (for donors), and praying for you. They have also started a mens ministry so cards for men are appreciated too. Envelopes are appreciated but not required. SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: NONE
GUIDELINES: Please keep in mind, we are representing SCS by sending our cards each month. Recycling is always good, but only use products on your cards that you would like to receive on cards. Also, our card donations are not tax deductible and it is not required. Please do not ask for a receipt. There have been groups that will send thank you's but the "referred by" person keeps us informed and passes on the thank you's. Most of these organizations are volunteers and spend countless hours helping others, lets help make their jobs easier and bless them in helping others.
MAILING ADDRESS: Community Pregnancy Center 180 1st St NW Barberton, OH 44203
For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not. This months optional challenge is to use stripes on your card. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC37 so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this months gallery C4AC37 click here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link. Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge
Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!
Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of January!
Once you have mailed them come back to us here and let us know they have gone postal!

hi friends, I had a thought; we have a monthly OPTIONAL challenge if you want to play....please do not feel obligated. I thought if you want you can link your cards up using the monthly keyword whether you play in the challenge or not. Please do not feel like you have to play in the challenge or even link up your card...if you want you can. This months keyword is C4AC37

I was wondering the same thing Julie asked. Since one of the card types mentioned is "praying for you", does that mean cards with scriptures would be okay?
I don't think I've made a baby card since we supported this cause last year! Just pulled out my baby stamps (and will now store them together) so I'm ready to get crafting. Well, as soon as I finish up the cards in process on my desk!
I love making baby cards but haven't had an occasion to do so until now... count me in and paying it forward!
Here's my first baby card... for girls, will make some in blue for boys too! I even used stripes and just realized it's this month's optional challenge, LOL!
Can we add ribbons/bows/buttons that are a bit bulky? I don't know if these are being mailed to the new moms/families or moms to be or being given to them in a package of items. I guess I am asking if CAS is the better option.

Hi Christine!
I think they do mail most of them...but I'm also guessing that they will hand some out right there at the center so ribbons buttons and bows would be ok.
Hi!! I am new to this. Am I supposed to tell how many cards I am sending? Or do I just mail them. Should I include a note telling these are from Splitcoast Card for a Cause? As you can see I need help.

I'm new to this group also. I'm going to make some baby cards today. I haven't used my baby stamps in far too long. My mom is coming over too, so she'll probably get involved. Thanks for giving me a great idea for an activity that both of us can do today. (She's 88 and loves making cards.) What a great cause, too!
