VOLUNTEER TO BE A CARD ANGEL
Volunteer Guidelines for 2026
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Card Angel! Whether you send one card or many, your participation helps us bring kindness, encouragement, and holiday cheer to people who could use a little extra joy. Please read the following guidelines carefully before completing your volunteer registration.
IMPORTANT: Full Name Required
You MUST provide your full first and last name when registering. Registrations submitted without a complete name will not be accepted and will be deleted.
Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone is welcome to become a Card Angel! Simply complete and submit the volunteer registration form below. Our team will review and process your registration, and a confirmation email will be sent within approximately 24 hours. Please check your spam or junk folder if you do not see your confirmation email in your inbox.
Volunteering as a Group or Organization
The Angel Card Project is a wonderful activity for schools, churches, scouting troops, fraternities, sororities, craft clubs, businesses, neighborhood groups, family gatherings, and other organizations. If you are registering on behalf of a group or organization, you will serve as the designated Point Person for your group. You will be responsible for sharing all project information, instructions, and updates with your participating group members.
Volunteer Responsibilities
Each volunteer is responsible for providing their own cards and postage and ensuring that their cards are properly mailed. Cards can be store bought or handmade. There is no minimum or maximum number of cards you must send. Whether you choose to send just one card or cards to multiple recipients, your participation is appreciated. And don't worry — EVERY person on our recipient list WILL receive cards! We work hard to make sure no one is forgotten. Trust us to work our Christmas magic!
Cards Are All That Is Required
The Angel Card Project is, first and foremost, about sending cards. No gifts or additional items are expected or required. Volunteers who wish to include a small extra, such as stickers or another thoughtful surprise, are welcome to do so at their own discretion.
Receiving the Christmas Card Master List
Our Christmas Card Master List contains the names and mailing information of individuals who have been submitted to receive cards. The initial Master List will be emailed to registered volunteers by November 26, 2026, along with detailed instructions for sending cards. Volunteers who register after that date will receive the Master List and instructions after their registration has been processed. Please respect the privacy of our recipients. Information provided through the Master List should be used only for participation in The Angel Card Project and should not be shared publicly.
Volunteer Registration Dates
Volunteer registration will remain open throughout November and December 2026. Our Christmas Card Project continues throughout the month of December, so even if you register later in the season, you can still participate!
Mailing Deadline
Due to potential holiday mail delays, we strongly encourage volunteers to mail their cards by December 15, 2026, whenever possible. Please plan accordingly to give your cards the best opportunity to reach their destinations during the holiday season.
