5-Minute Message: Preparedness Presents!
With holidays approaching, many of us will be looking for gifts to give to our family, friends, colleagues and others on our shopping lists. For safety-minded shoppers it’s a great time to give fun gifts that encourage safety, preparedness, health, and empowerment! For a list of gift suggestions click here.
For a light-hearted approach, how about a mug or cap with a cartoon vampire reminding others to do the “Dracula Cough” or a tie covered in colorful safety supplies? You can customize t-shirts with personal safety info for people you love, or help spread your favorite safety message on items ranging from bags to mouse pads to aprons – all at CARD’s new online store: www.zazzle.com/cardcanhelp.
Proceeds from CARD’s Zazzle store help us achieve our vision of a fear-free, inclusive, prospering community. Please let us know if you have special requests!

Love the site and especially the video of your staffer!! I have a question – what is the “social distancing” mentioned regarding the 6-foot length of string? That is a new term to me.

Hi Michele,
Thanks for the generous feedback — we really appreciate it!
Six feet refers to the recommended distance to stay away from people who may be ill with the flu. CARD’s classes focus on divergent learning, where we are teaching people how to be creative with whatever they have around them, and 6 feet of strong string or ribbon has dozens of great uses. Please feel free to share, tweet or otherwise spread the video and the message. Thanks! Ana-Marie
