Day 17: Drop Off Handmade Thank-You Cards for Emergency Responders

How to Do It:

Take a few minutes to write or create simple thank-you cards for firefighters, paramedics, police officers, or hospital staff. Express your appreciation for their hard work and dedication. You can drop them off at a fire station, police department, or hospital reception desk with a note saying, “For the team—thank you for all you do!”

Why It’s Powerful:

Emergency responders often work long hours in stressful situations with little recognition. A heartfelt thank-you can remind them that their efforts are appreciated and make a real difference in their day.
