Friends of Boston's Homeless

In October we'll be adding cards by Friends of Boston's Homeless, one of the largest providers of homeless services in New England. Their cards feature whimsical drawings by Robert Guillemin, known in Boston as Sidewalk Sam. My favorite is Frog Pond (at left). FOBH receives 85% of the card price for its programs.

New Non-Profits and Designs Coming

Over the next few weeks you will see some new non-profits on the site – we hope to add the Perkins School for the Blind and the Western Canada Wilderness Committee (one of whose cards is shown above), for example.

We’ll also be adding new cards from current charities, such as a new hand-painted Egyptian papyrus card from Ten Thousand Villages.

Please keep checking back for new offerings.

Pine Tree Society, Maine

Each summer, Maine's Pine Tree Society invites artists from all over the state to submit designs for their holiday cards. Site visitors submit comments about the artists' work, and the Society selects two images in July. We're happy to include the Pine Tree Society, which helps children and adults with disabilities, as our newest non-profit. Want to see which images they picked? You can view -- and order -- them here.

Cards for Rosh Hashanah

We have a new Rosh Hashanah section; please take a look if you plan to send greetings to commemorate the Jewish New Year. This year, the holiday begins at sundown on September 18th. We hope to add more non-profits to this section as we find them.
