How It Works

Pick the Option That Works for You

I visit schools across Southern California in person. For schools everywhere else, a free intro kit or downloadable resources are available. No cost, no waiting.

Each intro kit includes

Want to Receive Letters?

If your facility would like to receive letters from kids on a regular basis, or learn about partnering with Sending Grace, we'd love to connect. Letters are delivered in person when possible, or quietly left at the front desk for staff to share.

What Teachers Are Saying

"My kids loved this project so much. They took their time knowing that every word mattered and the pictures they were drawing would bring real smiles out into the world. This program is exactly what elementary schools need right now, it's a way to teach empathy in the most natural way, by doing something kind for someone you may never meet."
