State Senator Steve McClure (R-Springfield) is once again bringing the community together to brighten the lives of senior citizens during the Valentine’s season through his annual “Valentines for Seniors” card drive.
Recognizing the challenges of isolation faced by seniors in long-term care facilities, Senator McClure hopes the initiative will remind them that they are valued and loved.
The senator is calling on students, scout groups, churches, and other community organizations to create handmade cards. These heartfelt messages will be distributed to nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and other long-term care centers across the 54th Senate District.
Cards can be dropped off at the following locations during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) until February 7:
- McClure’s Litchfield District Office: 410 N. Monroe Street, Litchfield
- McClure’s Effingham District Office: 208 N. 4th Street, Suite B, Effingham
- Capitol Complex Office: A-Section of the Stratton Building, Springfield
Drop boxes will be available inside each office. For more information, email abrown@sgop.ilga.gov.
This initiative provides a meaningful opportunity for the community to show appreciation and bring smiles to seniors this Valentine’s Day season.
