Writing a Heartfelt Card

Stuff We Love

Nov. 29, 2025

They say that letter writing is a lost art, but Thrive 45° Young Professionals Group and the Petoskey Chamber are hoping to bring it back. They’re hosting the 6th annual Heartfelt Holiday Card and Letter Drive with the goal of collecting 1,500 letters for area seniors. Here’s how to participate, per their press release: “Using colorful cards or stationery, write a short, generic message. Messages should be positive, supportive, and respectful. It is best not to make assumptions of age, gender, background, or ability. Place the letter or card in a blank, unsealed envelope. No stamps are necessary.” All letters will be screened before they are delivered to local seniors via senior living communities and service agencies. Cards can be dropped off at (or mailed to) the Petoskey Chamber at 401 E Mitchell Street during business hours, Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, or drop in the designated box outside the office. Let’s spread some good cheer!
