While social activities are limited due to COVID-19, the City of Plymouth offers a new way to keep residents connected – the Plymouth Post.

A new volunteer-based initiative through the Parks and Recreation Department, the Plymouth Post provides community connection through pen and paper. Letters written by volunteers offering encouragement and cheer will be sent to those in the community who could use a special greeting.

Most Plymouth Post letters will be sent to seniors, but anyone who is feeling isolated and lonely during this time can be a designated recipient.

To add a friend or family member to the recipient list, email recreation@plymouthmn.gov. Residents are encouraged to let their loved ones know that they may receive an unsolicited letter from the city.

Volunteers Needed
The city is seeking volunteers to write letters to help send cheer to those whose social interactions are limited. 

Volunteers may share what activities they’ve participated in this summer, send a photo of an amusing pet or show artistic talent by drawing a picture to include with the letter. Creativity is encouraged.

To volunteer to write letters, email Volunteer Services at volunteer@plymouthmn.gov.
