With Valentines Day approaching next month, State Senator Chris Balkema (R- Channahon), is asking for help to brighten the day of senior citizens across the 53rd Senate District.
“My hope is that everyone, especially those in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, feels loved and remembered this Valentine’s Day,” said Balkema. “By leading with love and taking just a few moments to create a card, you can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life and show them they matter.”
To achieve his goal, Balkema 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 the 53rd Senate District.
Cards be mailed or dropped off from now until February 7th. You can drop off or mail your cards to either of these offices:
Pontiac Office: 305 West Madison St, Pontiac, IL 617642
Dwight Office: 132 East Main St, Dwight, IL 61738
There will be a drop box inside the office during normal business hours, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There will be a small mailbox outside where cards can be dropped afterhours.
