Pen Pals Unite

SHPL staff would like to inspire hope and decrease feelings of isolation in our community during these unsettled times. Staff writers would love to exchange cards and letters filled with inspiration, quotations, interesting articles, poetry, funnies or simply a kind hello to homebound local residents to brighten their day. Participants are welcome to write back or can participate by simply receiving inspirational cards or letters and can remain completely anonymous if they choose.  
A registration questionnaire form is required to enroll in the program. Letters will be sent to participants at least once a month. Start or stop letters anytime by contacting Outreach Services by email outreach@cityofsafetyharbor.com or call 727-724-1525 x4107.
