Haven’t You Heard? The Cool Kids Write Love Letters.
Whether you’re someone who loves a solo mission, someone who wants to be a part of something bigger than themselves, or someone who is ready to gather people together for a bigger cause– we have a mission for you!
Write Love Letters
We put 5-6 new stories on our website every month. Each story highlights an individual nominated by a loved one through our website to receive love letters from our community.
We invite you to read the stories, pull out your stationery supplies, and script letters of hope and encouragement. No pressure to write to everyone on the list– pick the stories that resonate the most with you. At the end of each story, we’ve supplied an address where you can mail your love letter.
At the end of the month, your love letter will be bundled up with hundreds of others from around the world and gifted to the nominated individual.
Leave Love Letters
Want to leave your mark on your community?
Whether you’re on a college campus, in a bustling city, or wandering the aisles of your local Target, all you need is a piece of stationery and a little courage. Write a heartfelt note and leave it somewhere unexpected for someone to find — tucked into a book, resting on a bench, slipped onto a shelf.
Before you seal the envelope, add moreloveletters.com or @moreloveletters so the lucky finder can discover the movement (and maybe even connect with you).
Yes, it might feel a little awkward to write a love letter to someone you’ve never met. But imagine the joy of stumbling upon a handwritten note right when you needed it most.
Let’s leave our communities better than we found them— one encouraging note at a time.
