LEMONT, IL — Illinois Senate Minority Leader John Curran (R-Downers Grove) is launching his Fifth Annual Valentines for Seniors Card Drive to help provide love and cheer to seniors in the 41st Senate District.
Sen. Curran is asking students, churches, scouting organizations and other community-minded groups to donate homemade or store-bought cards to his office to be delivered to assisted living centers, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities throughout the community.
“Valentines have the power to bring a little cheer to seniors who may be feeling restless or lonely and remind them that they are loved, cared for, and remembered,” said Sen. Curran. “Please consider participating in this joyful celebration of our most experienced members of the community.”
Cards, poems, and other well-wishes can be mailed or dropped off to Sen. Curran’s District Office at: 1011 State Street, Suite 205 in Lemont, until February 7, 2024. Those dropping off cards in-person can place them in the valentines box located inside the office door during business hours, which are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., or in the small mailbox outside of the office during off-hours.
