Lockdown Letters

Lockdown Letters is a student-run initiative which sends letters of appreciation to frontline workers around the country who are dedicating their time and energy to support our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our project has partnered with more than 25 frontline establishments around the United States so far—primarily hospital systems, thus far—and is looking for as many people to write letters as possible. We have received submissions from participants aged 3 to 73, and have already seen the impact that these heartfelt messages can have on the hard-working individuals who are sacrificing so much for our country right now. It only takes 10 minutes to write a message that will go a long way. All submissions are through our website: www.lockdownletters.org Instructions for submission are on the site. We are taking both typed and scanned handwritten messages.
