WHAT IS THE DROP?
The Drop is a combined effort to send Christmas Cards, full of joy and love, to people who are in prison. We call it The Drop because on a set day before Christmas everyone who signs up to write cards will “drop” the cards in the mail on that day. We do this to flood the prisons with cards of hope and joy of the Christmas spirit.
WHY DO THE DROP?
Prisoners probably aren’t at the top of many Christmas card lists. There is a reason that each person is in prison, however, that does not mean they are undeserving of love and compassion. The holiday season can be an especially lonely and difficult time for people who are in prison. For many, the card we send may be the only piece of mail they will receive all year. Christmas is the time of year that every person, no matter where they are, deserve some holiday cheer.
WHERE DO I GET MY CARDS?
Christmas Cards for 2023 are not available until the Launch of The Drop which will be on Thursday, November 9th @ 7 PM on Facebook. After that, order your FREE Cards for those in Ohio Prisons before we they are all gone!
