From Me to You
Send a note to someone in your community.
In December 2020, we invited you to join us in writing or drawing a note to someone in your community - a person you know or haven't met yet.
The pandemic prevented us from being together as much as we'd like, yet we know how good social connections are for our wellbeing.
Here’s what we said then and still believe now: Just as we can’t know what the months ahead will look like, we never know what anyone is facing in their lives at the moment our paths cross. And we can never know the impacts that small gestures can have on any given day.
From Me to You continues to be an opportunity to uplift someone else, and to do it all together.
Write
Write or draw a notecard and leave it somewhere to be found, like a doorstep, coffee shop, or bus. Ask us to send you some note cards, print your own in French, Mi’kmaq and English, or use what you have on hand. Make it a group effort!
Share
Although we aren’t actively promoting From Me to You, you can always share the opportunity with your friends, family, and followers on social media through your own photos, or ours. If you want some ideas, we can share some phrases and graphics.
Partner
We partnered with many organizations below to make From Me to You a reality and a part of other organizations’ and businesses’ activities. It inspired many more ripple effects, and we remain open to hearing about any partnership ideas you have.
This initiative had many local sources of inspiration – Northwood’s annual holiday card campaign, Letters Against Loneliness started by a group of friends including Alexis Blake and Kailey Zwaan, the Xaverian Pen Pal project started by StFX student Alyssa Spridgeon in Antigonish, and the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia’s Message of Kindness Initiative - to name a few.
