Representative Windhorst, Senator Fowler, and Representative Jacobs Partner on Valentine’s for Seniors Card Drive

Harrisburg, IL - State Representative Patrick Windhorst is teaming up with State Senator Dale Fowler and State Representative Paul Jacobs to invite residents to help spread kindness this Valentine's Day through a Valentine's for Seniors Card Drive.

The card drive encourages individuals, families, classrooms, churches, and community groups to create Valentine's Day cards for seniors living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the region.

"Seniors in our communities deserve to feel remembered and appreciated," Windhorst said. "These cards help remind them they're not alone."

Representative Jacobs said the drive is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get involved. "This is something families, schools, and community groups can do together," Jacobs said. "It's a simple act of kindness that can make a real difference."

"Valentine's Day is all about showing how much we care for others, and this drive is an easy way to reach out to seniors and show just how much their community cares for them," said Senator Fowler. "A simple card or note can go a long way in brightening someone's day and bringing some joy to seniors across the 59th District."
