CREST HILL – To express love and lift the spirits of local seniors, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is collecting store bought or handmade cards to deliver to long-term care facility residents for Valentine’s Day.

“Let’s take some time to show our gratitude and appreciation for seniors in our community,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “A simple note or card can make someone’s day, especially on a day celebrating love.”

People are encouraged to write kind notes and drop them off or mail them to her new district office, located at 20660 Caton Farm Rd. Crest Hill, IL 60403. She is collecting cards until Feb. 6 and then will deliver them to local long-term care facilities.
