MARYVILLE – State Sen. Rachelle Crowe, D-Glen Carbon, is inviting people to donate valentines to be given out at local long-term care facilities.

Crowe’s office will collect Valentine’s Day cards through Wednesday, Feb. 10. Once all the cards have been collected, they will be delivered to various long-term care facilities in the community.
