Christmas Card Drive

Each year at Christmastime we collect Christmas cards to be distributed in the San Francisco jails. This gives our incarcerated brothers and sisters an opportunity to send holiday greetings to their loved ones during this special time of year.

Please help us make this possible by sending in new, blank holiday cards to distribute in the jails. Cards can be religious or non-religious. They will be given out to everyone, regardless of religious affiliation. Spanish-language cards are needed as well.

Please note that cards should not include any 3D components or any embellishments such as jewels or sequins.

As another treat, those in the jails will be given candy or other snacks as a small gift. To support this effort, you are welcome to make a monetary donation toward the project.

Please send all donations no later than December 10, 2021. Cards can be mailed to:

Archdiocese of San Francisco
Attn: Julio Escobar
1 Peter Yorke Way
San Francisco, CA 94109

Thank you for your generosity!
