CREST HILL – To spread holiday cheer, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is hosting a holiday card drive for seniors across her district.

“During the holiday season, it’s important to give back and spread joy throughout our community,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Let’s get in the holiday spirit by writing a kind note that will make someone’s day.”

Loughran Cappel is collecting store bought and handmade cards for local seniors this holiday season. People are encouraged to write kind notes and drop them off or mail them to her Crest Hill office, located at 20660 Caton Farm Road, Unit D, Crest Hill, Illinois 60403. She is collecting cards until Dec. 15 and then will deliver them to local long-term care facilities.

Loughran Cappel encourages teachers and students to participate in the seasonal event.

“I encourage teachers and students to help us make the seniors in our community feel the appreciation they deserve,” Loughran Cappel said.

People with questions can reach out to Loughran Cappel’s office at 815-267-6119.
