LP Optimist Club sponsoring Valentine’s Day cards for Meals On Wheels clients

LOWER PROVIDENCE » Valentine’s Day isn’t limited to romantic sentiments.

Members of the Lower Providence Optimist Club know that the occasion is ideal for spreading good will and affection to family, friends and especially homebound seniors who could use a little heart-shaped cheerfulness during the pandemic.

The club put the call out on its Facebook page asking children ages five through 15 to participate “and bring smiles to our beloved senior citizens. Our goal is to deliver cards made from the youth in the community to the 150 participants of the Meals on Wheels Program. This means we need 150 Valentines by Sunday, January 31st, 2021. Each child can make or send as many cards as they’d like. Create a valentine and send it to Lorin@lpoptimistclub.com. We will print and make sure the cards get delivered to the seniors in the program in time for Valentine’s Day.”
