Share the Love with Virtual Valentines

Engage in a random act of kindness!

February 8, 2021

The world could use a little love right now. There are many kids (and adults) isolated in hospitals and care facilities, and Valentine's Day is the perfect way to show them they are loved and they are worth it. Here are five options to send FREE messages of encouragement, hope, and fun to those who cannot be home or with their friends to celebrate Valentine's Day. And, they all have digital options, so you can send them right from the comfort of your own home. 

So grab the kids, create some fun and inspiring messages, and bring love and joy into the lives of others!
