Loneliness at Christmas has always been a particularly prevalent issue, but no more so than in 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic ripping families apart.

So, we thought it was important to find a way to reach out to those in need this year - introducing The Angel Card Project.

Founded in the US by volunteer Mark Martin, the organization encourages volunteers to sign up to write as many cards as they wish from a database of lonely individuals, nominated by the public.

These could be elderly people, alone because of the pandemic, army veterans or simply people who had fallen on hard times and found themselves without a support network.

And the idea of the project was to encourage "sending love, one Christmas card at a time".

Our hearts. First started in 2001, the project originally only had 20 volunteers and ran on a very small scale.

But now its amassed thousands of supporters from countries across the globe, all of whom want to pick up their pens and offer their support to the cause.

Last year, they sent out a whopping 71,000 Christmas cards, and they hope to surpass this number next month.

To sign up, all you have to do is put your name and email into the website: www.theangelcardproject.com and you'll be contacted.

To learn more, visit: https://www.theangelcardproject.com/volunteer-to-send-cards; https://www.facebook.com/angelcardproject/

Hopelink is looking for volunteer career advisers for the English for Work program!

Fall quarter is already underway, so we are looking for advisers for our winter and spring quarters. The next New Adviser Onboarding meetings will be held in January and April 2026.

About English for Work and the Adviser Role

English for Work is a quarter-long English language program, designed for immigrants and refugees who are planning to get a job (or a better job) or enroll in college/job training in the next six months or so. In the class, students improve English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while learning about U.S. work culture, career goal setting, resume writing, and interview preparation.

Each adviser is assigned 2-3 students for the quarter. Advisers work one-on-one with their assigned students, supporting them in setting short-term and long-term career goals, resume writing, English practice, applying for jobs, and preparing for job interviews. Advisers primarily meet with students virtually, with occasional in-person opportunities at local libraries or other local public meeting spaces if student transportation allows.

This is a great role for working folks because the meeting schedules can be flexible. It’s also great for recently retired folks who are looking for ways to give back to the community and share their industry expertise!

We provide training and support to volunteers throughout the quarter.
