Q: Do I need to find the nursing homes to deliver to?
A: Yes, we ask that our volunteers find the nursing homes on their own because each facility has different guidelines and policies that we need to abide by. Please see the Resources page for a step by step guide! In future years, we hope to provide a master list of participating facilities, and your individual efforts now will help our community grow and help The Cupid Project build out this list. We eventually aim to provide a matching service between card makers and delivery locations!
