CFHK Card-Making Events at Local Libraries in the US

Libraries in Illinois, as well as other states across the US, regularly host card-making events for CFHK throughout the year. Below is a list of some of the upcoming, and past, card-making events for 2023. The list is organized by state.​ Some libraries host drop-in stations to make cards for CFHK throughout the month, which are are listed below as well. Attending a card-making event is a great way to have fun and make a difference. Service hours can be earned.
