The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly altered every day life as we know it, especially for our seniors and most vulnerable residents. In times like this, many of us may be feeling alone or in need of a reminder they have not been forgotten about.

One way we can do this is by putting a smile on one of neighbors faces with a note letting them know we are thinking of them.

In the coming weeks, I'd like us all to come together and send cards of encouragement and positive wishes to all of Hoboken's seniors. We have over 5,000 seniors living in our Mile Square and I know this is an ambitious goal, but if any community can do this it's Hoboken.

So how do we do this?

Fill out the form below with your contact information and number of cards you're committing to send. From there, I will email you directly with the name and address of a Hoboken senior. You can mail a handwritten note, a card you may have bought on your trip to the drug store or even get the kids involved and send their arts and crafts.

Little acts of kindness go a long way, so let's continue to come together in these times of uncertainty.
