About Us
What is Stamp of Sunshine?
Our mission to build community by creating space for genuine connection through handwritten messages.
We pop up in community spaces around the country such as breweries, coffee shops, planes and more! All events have free post cards, stamps and a mail drop. We mail the cards out the next day, all in an effort to remove barriers to sending snail mail.
Based in Logan Square, IL. 💌 ☀️ 📫
How Stamp of Sunshine got started
"In 2020 when I went through a low time in my life, my sweet coworkers, family and friends sent letters to me. They were, and still are, stamps of sunshine in my life when I was surrounded by darkness.
It made me think that if we all were getting more handwritten messages in the mail from someone who stopped to think of us, we might all feel a little more loved, known, cared for, and then have more space to go love others from there. <3
So, in 2023 I decided to start Stamp of Sunshine, with free cards, stamps & a mail drop in an effort to remove the typical barriers to sending snail mail.
A few weeks later, I was on a call with Nina, a childhood friend with a heart full sunshine. She immediately started volunteering her time to build a website. I am grateful to have Nina as a co-founder of Stamp of Sunshine! <3 It is so much fun to share the joy of Stamp of Sunshine together. 💌 "
