Share a little encouragement
Small cards. Meaningful connections.
Mission Accomplished is collecting holiday cards filled with handwritten words of encouragement and candy canes for individuals experiencing homelessness and those impacted by incarceration.
Families, churches, schools, businesses, and community groups are invited to participate. Make it a Thanksgiving activity together: a family of 20 can create 60 cards when each person writes just three.
