This is the fourth year that I've been participating in the Canadian Valentines for Veterans program run by the Federal Government. The military accepts generic Valentines, and sends them out to Veterans in homes and hospitals across the country. If you are interested in participating, Google it, and you'll find a webpage with all the details and an address to send them to. *Read the fine print, there are a few no-no's like glitter or 3D embellishments - and they would like them to be signed with an encouraging or thankful comment. They also encourage you to take cards directly to local care homes if you can - so check out who accepts them in your neighbourhood. For my American friends, I know there are similar programs in the US that you can look into.
Happy to have assembled 27 of these this week! Will try to fit in a few more, but want to get them off in the mail in the next few days.
