Unmute
Carterville (WSIL) Illinois Senator Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg) and volunteers are looking to spread some love this Valentine s Day to those isolated in senior care facilities.
Fowler partnered with the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Southern Illinois to deliver more than 9,000 cards to 47 area nursing homes and assisted living centers.
Organizers said, showing seniors you care, means the world to them. Its great to have family outreach, you know, to you at all times but its also nice to see little cards or little people saying, hey we appreciate you, we recognize that you re here, and just put a smile on their face any chance we can. said Candi Wallis, Project Director of RSVP of SI.
