As Valentine’s Day approaches, State Senator Steve McClure is working to make sure that senior citizens aren’t forgotten with a “Valentines for Seniors” card drive. Senator McClure says living in a nursing home or assisted living facility can be a lonely experience and he wants to make sure that those seniors know that they are an important part of the community and are loved.

To help with that goal, Sen. McClure is asking students, scout groups, churches, and other groups to consider creating homemade cards that will be delivered to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care facilities throughout his district. 

Cards can be dropped off from now until February 5th at Sen. McClure’s Litchfield district office, which is located at 410 North Monroe Street in Litchfield, or his Effingham district office, at 208 North 4th Street, Suite B, in Effingham.  There will be a dropbox inside each office during normal business hours, from 9 AM until 4 PM.  For questions, please contact abrown@sgop.ilga.gov.
