changing lives one letter at a time
Connecting generations through simple acts of kindness
Lives through Letters is more than just a program, it’s a movement. It’s about bridging the gap between generations, creating a sense of belonging and reminding our seniors that they are not forgotten. It’s about taking a simple act of kindness, a letter, and turning it into something that has the power to change a life.
With every letter written, we weave a thread of hope, love, and connection that reaches out to our seniors and leaves a lasting impact. Join us in this movement and let’s make a difference together.
Mission Statement
At Lives Through Letters, we are committed to fostering meaningful connections between generations through the art of letter writing. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the young and elderly, cultivating empathy, understanding, and companionship through handwritten correspondence. We believe in the power of words to transcend generations, bringing comfort and joy to those who may feel isolated or forgotten. Join us as we strive to make a difference, one letter at a time.
Expansion and New Chapters
Beginning with a single student who decided to connect with seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lives Through Letters has successfully established several chapters around the Midwest. Each has its own unique spin on our letters, and we love seeing the creativity and impact it has had. We hope to continue expanding and create more chapters nationwide.
How Can I Be Involved?
As Lives Through Letters continues to grow and expand, we are always looking for some extra help. Whether you're interested in starting your own chapter, joining an existing chapter, or spreading information, all help is appreciated!
