Surprise mail from home can help college kids feel a little less homesick. Feel good items, like homemade treats, are just what the doctor ordered.
Kids who are away at college aren’t well-established adults, yet. So, sending a few everyday necessities or comfort items can make a huge difference in their life.
Ideas for a college care package don’t need to be complicated or fancy. Making someone’s day (or week) is not only worth the effort, but also super easy.
