State Senator Doris Turner is encouraging her constituents to spread holiday cheer for residents in local care homes.  It’s part of her annual holiday card drive, meant to provide comfort for care home residents who may feel isolated during the holidays.  State Senator Turner says this is a way to spread joy to those who need it and says it is the most important part of the holiday season.

Anyone who would like to contribute to the drive can write hand-made or store-bought cards.  These cards should be mailed or delivered to either of Turner’s office.  The addresses are: 401 S. Spring St., Section F, Office B, Springfield, IL 62706, and 1210 S. Jasper St., Decatur, IL 62321.  Cards will be accepted through December 17. 

More information on the drive is available by calling State Senator Doris Turner’s office at (217) 782-0228.
