State Senator Andrew Chesney (R–Freeport) is inviting residents across the 45th district to help brighten Valentine’s Day for local seniors by participating in his Valentines for Seniors Card Drive.
The card drive encourages community members to create or purchase Valentine’s Day cards to be shared with seniors in local care facilities, helping spread kindness and cheer during the holiday season.
“Too many seniors feel isolated, particularly this time of year,” Senator Chesney said. “Even a small gesture like a Valentine’s Day card can remind them that their community cares and is thinking of them.”
