For the second year, State Representative Jackie Haas is hosting the “Valentines for Veterans” program. Rep. Haas invites all community members of the 79th District to participate in making handmade valentine greetings, with well-wishes for our veterans. Valentines will be accepted at her district office, 370 E. Court Street in Kankakee, until February 10.

“These valentines are a small token of appreciation for the great service and sacrifice the veterans made to protect us and keep us safe,” Haas said. “These past couple of years have been difficult for many, especially those living in homes who have had to be away from family and friends. This is our chance to show our vets the love and appreciation they deserve.”

All ages are invited to create a card or drawing. The cards will be delivered to 79th District veterans at the Manteno Veterans Home in time for Valentine’s Day.

For additional information, contact her district office at 815-523-7779.
