Delivering Cards:

More Than Just a Message

Uplifting Deliveries is a volunteer organization that focuses on keeping vulnerable groups connected with support. Our goal is to combat and spread awareness of the effects of social isolation, a standing issue that has become more prominent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social isolation has shown to cause symptoms of pseudodementia and worsen the progression of dementia related diseases. We combat this by personally delivering handwritten cards.
