Here are some ideas to where you can send your cards if you have loads of them that aren't being used:

Jen McGuire does a Cards for Kids drive. It says you can send your cards to her at anytime but the info here is from last year. She even gives away some prizes.

St. Jude's Ranch accepts used greeting cards. They only take the front of the card and there are more guidelines on their site. This is a good option for those old cards you have hanging around. I know I've saved almost every card I've received!

I found a link on Split Coast Stampers forum about Cards for a cause. This ia a link to their 2011 schedule. Not sure how it works but it looks like a different org. is featured every month.

You can also check with the local nursing homes, hospitals and/or armory or Red Cross. I'm sure they would be willing to give your card to someone!

Here's another one......Operation Write Home for the troops. I know there are some guidelines as well - like no glitter.
