We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: VOYCE’s Executive Director, Marjorie Moore, was recently featured on the #WhatImLiking segment of the Kelly Clarkson Show! This incredible spotlight highlighted Project Holiday Cheer, our heartwarming initiative to bring joy to long-term care residents during the holiday season.
During the segment, Marjorie shared the story behind Project Holiday Cheer and this initiative’s impact on nursing home residents. In a year when so many residents continue to face isolation, the simple gesture of sending a holiday card can mean the world. Marjorie also expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support from our community, who are helping us reach our ambitious goal of collecting 40,000 holiday cards.
While we’re making progress, we still need your help! There’s plenty of time to join the cheer squad and make a difference. Whether it’s a heartfelt note or a colorful drawing, your card can bring light and connection to someone who needs it most.
How You Can Help
It’s easy to get involved:
- Write or design holiday cards with kind messages.
- Gather your family, friends, or co-workers to create cards together.
- Drop off your completed cards to the VOYCE office or one of our drop off spots by December 31 or to the VOYCE office all year.
- Not in the Eastern Missouri or Southern Illinois area? Choose a nursing home near you to spread some cheer on your own! Everyone loves to be remembered!
- Donate! Every dollar helps VOYCE ensure that older adults and people with disabilities have strong advocates in our community and that the causes of elder justice and quality long-term care are advanced.
Every card counts toward our goal of spreading holiday magic to 40,000 residents across eastern Missouri’s long-term care facilities.
We’re so grateful to Kelly Clarkson and her team for shining a light on Project Holiday Cheer. With your continued support, we can make this holiday season truly special for those we serve.
