Attend a Card-Making Event at the Library

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.

Please check with your local library about additional dates of upcoming events as CFHK is not always aware of these events in advance. If you'd like to suggest CFHK events / programming to your local library, please contact us. We'd be happy to help!
