Doctors, nurses, and other medical staff, as well as police, firefighters, grocery store employees, postal\/delivery workers, gas station attendants, public transportation workers, mental health and social services workers, farmers, and countless other \u201cessential workers\u201d are putting themselves in harm\u2019s way daily so the rest of us can stay safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Here at Chill, we are all about inspiring others, and we need your help to do just that! While you\u2019re chilling at home, take some time to write a thank you card or two to the frontline workers in your area. Whether you write to someone you\u2019ve interacted with directly or a general letter to a local business, hospital, or public service, just let them know that their efforts and sacrifices are meaningful and appreciated. It will mean a lot to them!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you\u2019d like some help getting started, we\u2019ve put together some helpful information for you below:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Click the links for a general letter template that you can use (<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chill-fndn.squarespace.com\/s\/Front-line-worker-letter-template.pdf\"><strong>PDF<\/strong><\/a><strong> or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chill-fndn.squarespace.com\/s\/Front-line-worker-letter-template.docx\"><strong>Word Doc<\/strong><\/a><strong>).<\/strong> Just fill in the blanks and change specific information as needed, and you\u2019re all set. We also recommend hand-writing your letters for an added personal touch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Click the links for a list of hospitals, long-term care facilities, and their addresses in each of our program locations around North America (<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chill-fndn.squarespace.com\/s\/Hospital-and-LTC-Facilities.pdf\"><strong>PDF<\/strong><\/a><strong> or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chill-fndn.squarespace.com\/s\/Hospital-and-LTC-Facilities.xlsx\"><strong>Word Doc<\/strong><\/a><strong>).<\/strong> It\u2019s far from a complete list, but it\u2019s a good starting place. You can find addresses for many additional businesses and organizations in your area just by Googling the name or visiting the contact page on their website. If you can\u2019t find an address there, you can always give them a call on the phone and as for the best address.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">If you need some inspiration, check out the photos of thank you letters below. Don\u2019t be afraid to draw pictures, add some color, put on stickers, or anything else that adds some flair.
