State Senator Mike Halpin is collecting store bought or handmade cards for residents in long-term care facilities for Valentine’s Day in order to brighten their day.
“I want to give the community a chance to lift up local seniors’ spirits this Valentine’s Day,” said Halpin (D-Rock Island). “A small gesture like a card can have a big effect on a person’s day.”
Local residents are encouraged to write kind notes and drop them off or mail them to Halpin’s district office, located at 117 E. Main St. Suite 103 Galesburg, IL 61401. He is collecting cards until Feb. 10 and will deliver them to local long-term care facilities.
People with questions can reach out to Halpin’s Rock Island office at (309) 558-3612 or Galesburg office at (309) 297-4483.
