CREST HILL – To show appreciation and lift the spirits of local seniors, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is collecting cards for residents in long-term care facilities for Valentine’s Day.

“Seniors are a big part of our community, and writing them a note can remind them they’re appreciated,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Taking time out of our days to do a little act of kindness can go a long way to make someone feel loved this Valentine’s Day.”

Loughran Cappel is encouraging residents to write handmade or store-bought cards to help bring joy to older adults living in various senior facilities across the 49th District. Children are also encouraged to participate.

Cards can be mailed or delivered now through Feb. 6 to Loughran Cappel’s office located at 20660 Caton Farm Rd., Unit D in Crest Hill.
