Mother's Day Cards that Give Back

Thursday, May 6, 2010

Sunday is Mother's Day and what better way to celebrate mom than with a card from Myrtle Alley Press that gives back to the community? The studio has created a beautiful letterpress card for the occasion and the proceeds go directly to the Jubilee Women’s Center, an organization that provides transitional housing to homeless women in Seattle. You can donate any amount in honor of your mother or a special woman in your life, and Jubilee will send the card to the honored recipient on your behalf. 

“Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the special women in your life, and a gift that gives back to the community really expresses the essence of a mother’s generosity.” said Sara McNally, the graphic designer who designed the cards. Myrtle Alley Press and McNally donated their time to design and print the bright and cheerful cards that display a timeless quote from Mother Teresa: “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” Inside, a simple message, “Thank you for all the small things you have done and continue to do, day after day. Happy Mother’s Day,” is displayed alongside the recognition of a donation. 100 percent of the proceeds benefit Jubilee Women’s Center, a nonprofit organization that has provided transitional housing for homeless women in our community for over 27 years. 

“We were excited to create these cards for such a great cause,” said Rebecca Mullins, owner of Myrtle Alley Press, a letterpress studio in West Seattle. To donate and send a card to a woman in your life, visit www.jwcenter.org, or call Katy Childers at Jubilee Women’s Center at 206-957-4392, or email at katy@jwcenter.org.

Your mother would be so proud. :)
